			xterm -bg Transparent

This used to work in X11R3.
Under X11R4 it still works for Turbo SRX, but not for SRX.

Apparently, XAllocNamedColor returns a black pixel for "transparent".
XAllocColor will return a transparent pixel, but we can't go and hack
every application.

Is this my problem, X11R4 problem, or HP server problem?
Is there a fix for this?

Thanks for any hints.
