Package: xterm Version: 4.2.1-12.1 After starting the 'gnome-settings-daemon' (version 2.4.0, package gnome-control-center 2.4.0-4) 'xterm' does not take the settings of '.Xdefaults'. Ending the gnome-settings-daemon does not help.
My entries in '.Xdefaults' are: XTerm*font: 9x15 XTerm*VT100*geometry: 80x24+0-0 My window manager is fvwm 2.4.16-2. I don't use gnome but start nautilus which displays small fonts if the gnome-settings-daemon is not active. Diether Knof
