I do use the color schemes frequently (mostly in xterm, cygwin or winvile) 
and had thought that the terminal-drivers were more reliable than xvile in 
that area (I recall that some of the cases for background coloring in 
xvile don't fit well into that).

A quick check (in xterm) with terminfo or ncurses driver seems okay
here.  Is this while in insert mode, etc?

well, more details would help me to see the problem.
