G'day All,

I've been using xpdf lately and notice that it spits an error message to the command line each time it is run:
Code:
chrisw@chrisw chrisw $ xpdf octave.pdf
Warning: Color name "#f6f5f4                                                     " is not defined

The warning arises because because the value contains a lot of extraneous spaces, and works fine if they are removed. I looked at xrdb, which clearly shows it:
Code:
chrisw@chrisw chrisw $ xrdb -q | grep xpdf  | od -c
0000000   x   p   d   f   .   b   a   c   k   g   r   o   u   n   d   :
0000020  \t   #   f   6   f   5   f   4
0000040
*
0000100                                                      \n   x   p
0000120   d   f   .   f   o   r   e   g   r   o   u   n   d   :  \t   #
0000140   0   0   0   0   0   0
0000160
*
0000220                                              \n   x   p   d   f
0000240   .   u   r   l   C   o   m   m   a   n   d   :  \t   k   f   m
0000260   c   l   i   e   n   t       e   x   e   c       %   s
0000300
*
0000340                                                  \n
0000355
It took a long time to find where these default resources were being set by KDE:
Code:
chrisw@chrisw chrisw $ cat /usr/kde/3.1/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/Xpdf.ad
xpdf.urlCommand: kfmclient exec %s
xpdf.foreground: FOREGROUND
xpdf.background: BACKGROUND

but I cannot find where FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND are defined and substituted into the resources (so I can fix the source rather than simply override it in user .Xresources files).

Could some enlightened sole please point me in the correct direction?

Found it. The extraneous spaces are actually part of the Xpdf.ad file itself. I just removed the trailing spaces.
