$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
gnome$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
/usr/sbin/gdm3

After taking a look at the reason why they dropped support for loading
.Xresources by default (cf. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225384),
I decided to test whether that old reason is still valid. It is not:

$ cat ~/.Xresources
UXTerm*reverseVideo: true$ time xrdb -merge ~/.Xresourcesreal 0m0,018s
user 0m0,012s
sys 0m0,006s

This time spent is clearly below what a human would need to type in "xrdb -merge
~/.Xresources" manually and way below what a human is able to perceive. But
complaining on this regression might belong to a different bug, I guess.

Anyway, having said all that, what's the "official" way to have the uxterm
default colors *automatically* white-on-black now?
