If you install XFree86 4.4 you'll see that very colour too. It was that
way with a snapshot on gentoo and with 4.4 on NetBSD. I find it nice,
the old one was way too dark (read: text in that color was unreadable). 

The xorg release also fixes the old bug where the '_' character wouldn't
be properly displayed on xterms when you used certain fonts in
antialiased mode (e.g. xterm -fa rk14)

It's not an xorg-only thing.

Cheers,
