~/.Xdefaults is read by the client on startup. (This is important for remote clients -- the ~/.Xdefaults file of the machine running the X client, not the machine running the X server, is read.) ~/.Xresources is feed to xrdb during the X session startup phase. The resources are stored by the X server (in main memory, I guess). (In the case of remote clients, the file on the machine running the X server is relevant.) Besides the machine, it is also relevant that xrdb preprocesses the file with ccp. I use that feature a lot. Kai
