     Hmm - it should do, and it sounds like a bug we need to
     investigate. I
     think I've heard it reported before.
     This bug sounds similar:
     [3]https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2790247&group_i
     d=161080&atid=818426
     If you think this is the same issue you are seeing, please add any
     additional details you have there.
     PS:
     The latest code in git HEAD:
     git clone git://[4]git.gpleda.org/gaf.git
     Has some options on the menu for changing colour scheme whilst
     running.
     It is on the "View" menu, and has shortcuts "vl" and "vd".
     I'd appreciate if you could verify that the above gschemrc / gafrc
     bug
     is present in the git HEAD version as well. I'm away for a few
     days, and
     I know I'll forget!

   I'm running  1.4.3.20081231
   My $HOME/gschemrc disables the log window at startup but a gschemrc
   down with a .sch does not. Running in that directory in a terminal
   comes up with a log window while using the window manager to run
   foo.sch using gschem does not.
