lynx-dev what to do with stubborn terminal emulators?

[Larry W. Virden]

When I use my mac and ntsa telnet emulator, I get a very pleasant color
interface that is a joy to use.

When however I use my sparc solaris 2.6 and the cde dtwm , I get an
annoying behavior.  My default dtwm has a grey background.  When I run
lynx, I get the colors I expect, but the rest of the 'background'
that lynx draws is white rather than the grey my terminal expects.

This is how I am configuring lynx.

  $PWD/configure  --prefix=/projects/intranet \
        --libdir=/projects/intranet/lib/lynx \
        --includedir=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/include \
        --with-screen=ncurses  \
        --with-included-gettext \
        --with-catgets \
        --with-zlib \
        --enable-extended-dtd \
        --enable-externs \
        --enable-forms-options \
        --enable-nls \
        --enable-nsl-fork \
        --enable-partial \
        --enable-persistent-cookies \
        --enable-debug

Is there a flag I should be adding, or removing, so that the ncurses/lynx
that I am building doesn't try to reset the background of the screen
to white but rather leaves it the way I want it?
