Hello, just heard a problem on #archlinux that gdm was not loading ~/.Xdefaults. after quick search i found these:
gdm does not read .Xdefaults http://bugs.gentoo.org/52832 $HOME/.Xdefaults no longer being read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinit/+bug/320886 man x mentions only .Xdefaults-<hostname> #xorg said: ".Xdefaults & .Xdefaults-<hostname> have been depreacted for a long time, .Xresources is the current form, but rarely used as most people moved on to toolkits like Qt & Gtk that don't use .Xresources" man x also sais: "The default is $HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>. Unlike $HOME/.Xresources, it is consulted each time an X application starts." if no one has a better note for http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults ill just add that manpage quote :P cheers .andre
