Same here, with current Debian X server/libraries, and xterm 222 with libXt 1.0.2, xterm 213 with libXt 1.0.0, xterm 200 with libXt from XF86 4.3. $HOME/.Xdefaults is only read if (!pd->server_db), which is not the case here (see libXt/src/Initialize.c:XtScreenDatabase()). I'll try to see what happens with a different server. In any case, this is not a bug in xterm, the same happens with the other clients I tried (xmessage, for instance). Cheers, Julien
