Black background on Gnome-Terminal

xterm color (defaults to light background, dark foreground):
 /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm

console color (defaults to dark background, light foreground):
 /etc/DIR_COLORS

To have the same colors in gnome-terminal simply
copy /etc/DIR_COLORS to ~/.dir_colors

You can also copy DIR_COLORS to ~/.dir_colors.xterm or any other valid
value of $TERM.  (e.g. FC3 I think uses a "gnome" terminal type for
gnome-terminal.)

Cheers,
/dev/loop
