rxvt ignores x resource settings?

1997-07-02 Thread Joey Hess
If I add these settings to my resources, rxvt should appear in reverse video with no scrollbar... but it seems to compltely ignore the resources. If I specify them on the command line (rxvt -background black -foreground white +sb), it works ok. Why? (rxvt version: 2.20-4) Rxvt*scrollbar: false

Colin R. Telmer: I had this problem a while ago and figured out a hack for it (although this is weird) for an old version of rxvt. If I put a symlink in my home directory as follows, it reads the resources fine: .Xdefaults - .Xresources However, strangely enough, I removed this symlink
