Indeed. IMO the colors are way to light for a white background. Also,
Anselm, there is a typo in your .Xdefaults, line 10:
  
  -XTerm*color1: #000000
  +XTerm*color0: #000000

I have used black on white for a long time, too. Mostly with a crappy
CRT. Though, since I'm running a TFT with a quite hight contrast and
brightness I think that dark colors are definitly better on the eyes.

Anyways, you can check out http://robm.selfip.net/wiki.sh/-main/TerminalColors
for my variations of a dark and a light terminal theme.

Bye, Rob.
