RE: new TColor in rootlogon.C

I have tried what you are suggestting here and I got no error messages. Note that the fix I mentionned before was done on July 2nd and 5.20 is from June 25th so the fix is not in. Only 5.21 (from August 8th) has it.

Cheers, O.Couet

OK I have done some further testing and found out that it has to do something
with my .rootrc.
I found the following line to be the cause of the problem:

Rint.Logon: $(HOME)/.rootlogon.C

Somehow this caused my .rootlogon.C to get executed twice. If I remove this line from my .rootrc, everything works fine. I have done this with root 5.18 and 5.20, linux.
