Not exactly the 'desktop' theme but your and IOhannes' hints got me on 
the right track :-) - thanks!

A while ago I was messing with .Xresources to actually change xterm and 
urxvt... but then forgot to namespace the 'final' settings, so TclTk was 
picking in particular the *bacground and *foreground values.

Good reminder about how TclTK is using .Xresources and/or as also 
explained here for other systems/programmes [1][2]
