Okay before doing what you stated, I restored the file
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-
common_xresources to original
> 1. Prevent lightdm from being started:
>
> update-rc.d lightdm disable ('enable' reverts this).
Done
> 2. Delete $HOME/.Xdefaults (It's not used).
Never used it in the first place.
> 3. Delete $HOME/.xinitrc (It fouls up Debian's X).
I tried to use it never worked. So deleted it.
> 4. Move $HOME/.xsession out of the way.
Its not there.
> 5. Repair self-inficted damage with
> apt-get --reinstall install x11-common
Ok did this too!
> 6. Have 'xterm*background: red' as the only line in $HOME/.Xresources.
Ok
> 7. Reboot, execute startx and bring up an xterm.
Here are my results:
Running startx logged me in to xfce, I opened up a xterm and the
background was red.
Next I enabled lightdm: #update-rc.d lightdm enable
Rebooted and from lightdm logged in to i3.
Opened up an xterm and the background was red.
Now I used my original .Xresources and reboot. Again same error!
'xrdb -merge .Xresources' and 'xrdb -overide .Xresources' will not work
