No, I'm sorry, I don't have the old file anymore. And I also cannot prove 
that I haven't touched the file, but I know I have not.

But I just updated to xinitrc-2.4.4-62mdk.noarch:

warning: /etc/X11/Xresources created as /etc/X11/Xresources.rpmnew
warning: /etc/X11/Xsession created as /etc/X11/Xsession.rpmnew
warning: /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources created as /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources.rpmnew

The diff for the first two files:

/etc/X11:
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1899 Feb 27 17:34 Xresources*

As you can see, the config files were not changed, rpm shouldn't have 
created .rpmnew files.

If I can help you in some way to reproduce the bug, let me know what you 
want to know. But I suggest we then move this thread to private mail?
