[Bug 46462] Re: RXVT not using .Xdefaults
rxvt is currently compiled to use XGetDefault(). XGetDefault() does indeed use values from ~/.Xdefaults, but only after they are merged into the resource database. This happens at session startup (as the original reporter apparently discovered by accident), or you can run: xrdb -merge ~/.XDefaults after editing ~/.Xdefaults, to update the resource database. On this basis, this issue is not really a bug, simply a decision made by the packager. So this is Invalid : NotABug.

[Bug 46462] Re: RXVT not using .Xdefaults
Workaround: use rxvt-unicode instead of rxvt. I'm looking at a patch to compile rxvt with .Xdefaults support. ** Changed in: rxvt (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Jonathan Marsden (jmarsden) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- RXVT not using .Xdefaults https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It still does not work. ** Changed in: rxvt (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- RXVT not using .Xdefaults https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 46462] Re: RXVT not using .Xdefaults
As manual states it should read this file, and on my system it does not. It does not read .Xresources and /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt, neither. -- RXVT not using .Xdefaults https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
