There is no meaning for Xterm without launching an xterm with the -name option. Do you mean XTerm? > I can guess it has something to do with the class of applications/ instance of > applications! Resources are specified with either instance*resource: value or class*resource: value The xprop program will tell you what the instance and class are. I have WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xterm", "XTerm" "xterm" is the instance and "XTerm" the class. With your .Xresources I could use either to specify the resources. With xterm -name Xterm the class is unchanged but the instance is "Xterm". "xterm" in your .Xresources now has no effect because it is not the instance name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
