Hi Frank, If it is necessary to merge xrdb manually, it is an issue with the X startup scripts, and not xscreensaver. If you only would need to restart xscreensaver it would have been a timing issue between the merging of xrdb and the launch of xscreensaver in the X startup sequence. Unfortunately I do not know if .Xdefaults is supposed to be read in your desktop environment. /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources merges your .Xresources if allow-user-xsession is set in /etc/X11/Xsession.options, see "man Xsession.options" for more information.
