Hi! I think I've found the problem.
When you configure a Debian system you give a hostname (foo) and a domain name (bar.com), after this /etc/hostname contains foo and /etc/hosts contains `WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ foo.bar.com foo'. With this configuration `uname -n' answers foo like `hostname' or `hostname -s' ; `hostname -f' gives foo.bar.com and `hostname -d' bar.com. If I use a ~/.Xdefaults-foo, xterm will use it because foo is the hostname (uname -n). However Emacs won't because it looking fo a fqdn (it's in the file sysdep.c init_system_name()). The result of `emacs --no-site-file -q --batch --eval "(message system-name)"' is foo.bar.com and emacs will search a ~/.Xdefaults-foo.bar.com. I only seen three solutions to solve this problem : * use a link (hard or symbolic) between ~/.Xdefaults-foo and ~/.Xdefaults-foo.bar.com * put a fqdn in /etc/hostname * remove foo.bar.com from /etc/hosts Whatever, I think you can close this bug because it's not Debian relative.
