pstree shows systemd -> slim -> bash -> xrdb
Did some more digging, /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources (part of x11-common) is a shell script launched by Slim and if xrdb is not available it intentionally shows this message (which for some reason cannot be closed, thus you end up with a nonfunctional x-server). Should this bug be reassigned to x11-common or closed? (Since the warning was put there for a reason, and you could easily disable it in /etc, given you know how your xsession is started...)
