summary: I'm running an up-to-date cygwin X on wxpsp3. I get both
xterm and urxvt-X to start, but cannot get either to pickup settings
from .Xdefaults or .Xresources. What am I doing wrong?

Assistance would be sincerely appreciated!
BTW, instead of Xterm and Rxvt you might look into using mintty from Cygwin itself. It's a quite nice terminal emulator.

I use ~/.Xdefaults a lot (well less now...). My thought is: Is $HOME set correctly for X? I would have thought an xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults would be a cure all (provided you xrdb'ed it to the proper X server!). Out of curiosity, what does ax xrdb -query reveal?
