Are you suspecting something?
(Your mailer isn't very good with In-Reply-To: headers...) Yes. You probably have a $HOME/.xinitrc that is telling startx to completely ignore the system startup files, exactly as it's supposed to. That's why .Xresources isn't being merged. man xinit. (.Xdefaults files are client-side application-defaults; they are not loaded into the X server as X resources are.) Alternatively, your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc may not be stock. -- G. Branden Robinson | Damnit, we're all going to die; Debian GNU/Linux | let's die doing something *useful*!
