I do not know enough about what X resource files are supposed to look like to identify this bug for sure. However, I notice that the /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources file from Daniel's experimental X4.3.0 debs appears to have had all its backslash-newlines eaten: | xlogin*login.translations: #override | Ctrl<Key>R: abort-display()\n | <Key>F1: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n and I *think* a bug in the handling of backslash-newlines with -traditional was fixed for GCC 3.3.2, which is due out today. Would you please try that version when it comes out, and if it's still broken, file a proper bug report? zw
