I've got the same problem on Debian Etch and created that symlink. 
Didn't help. For xterm these problems stopped when I just didn't some of 
these "bad colors" anymore, but that's no solution. For "display" from 
ImageMagick and some other programs I still get these "color is not 
known to server" messages with colors "black", "blue", "cyan", "white" 
and so on.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Volker
