One more time. If you have your XFILESEARCHPATH and your XUSERFILESEARCHPATH set properly, please note that your personal resources will *not* get loaded. This is the exact same problem that happened in 7.3 as well.
The solution then was to add the following patch to the startkde script: *** startkde 2002-10-06 15:57:09.000000000 -0400 --- bin/startkde.sav 2002-05-17 22:10:38.000000000 -0400 *************** *** 231,236 **** --- 231,242 ---- LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify || \ xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Couldn't start kdeinit. Check your installation." + # Added by me + if [ -f "$HOME/.Xresources" ]; then + xrdb -merge "$HOME/.Xresources" + fi + # End of Added by me + # finally, give the session control to the session manager # Syntax: ksmserver [--restore] [--windowmanager <wm>] # if no windowmanager is specified, ksmserver will ensure kwin is started. Well, we have the same problem but now that patch only makes it better but does not fully fix everything. My .Xresources file looks like this: *customization: -color *StringConversionWarnings: on Things like geometry get fixed but things like colors do not seem to be fixed. The resource does seem to be properly loaded. If anyone has a better fix than what I have, I'd love to see it. In the meanwhile, everyone should add this patch because RH didn't fix it the last time I reported it. :-( -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
