Re: Emacs running as root with different colors than the standard one.

[Alexandre Schenberg]

Bingo, that's it. Actually, not precisely, since in my case there
isn't a .Xdefaults. However I saw a file that by it's name made me
think that could be it. And it was the .Xresources file.


P.S: Create the .emacs file in root wouldn't solve my problem since
what I want was just find the colors used by root to use as regular
use.

Thanks to all for the effort.
