Cheers for that.
Just in case: the command xrdb -merge .Xresources is definitely run when X is called. The resources in .Xresources are merged with those in /etc/X11. If you issue the same command from a terminal nothing happens to alter the resources available because they have already been merged. xrdb .Xresources (xrdb -load .Xresources) wipes out the resources loaded from /etc/X11 and gives you only what is in .Xresources. Your initial understanding of this led you away from a solution to the actual problem. Not to worry; everyone does it and everybody learns. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
