Well... I am not sure anymore that is is an xrdb issue.
When I configure wmii as my window mananger in .Xsession, then try to login
using xdm, the first attempt fails, the second fais as well, but presents a
different xdm interface, as if all the X resources have been erazed. At the
3rd atempt, I login successfully, but without the X Resources available. This
is where I get the xrdb error.
Se below the .xsession-errors from the three login attempts:
