You do call xrdb in your X startup files, right? This works for me: rxvt*foreground: black rxvt*background: gray80 rxvt*font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-0-0-0-m-0-*-1 rxvt*geometry: 80x49+0+0 The problem I have is that X application seem to want stuff from .Xdefaults whereas others prefer .Xresources. So I put a softlink from one .Xresources to .Xdefaults. Hope this helps, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
