Either mv $HOME/.Xdef
Hi all,
Could you clarify the differences between these two files??
I just found out that I don't have .Xresources file in my home
directory... is this a problem??
Thx.
Shao.
Hi,
Look at /etc/X11/Xsession. It looks at $HOME/.xsession
(startup file) and $HOME/.Xresources (user defined resources).
The latter is merged, using xrdb -merge, the former is
executed at start up (as long as the line allow-user-xsession is
present in /etc/X11/config).
My .Xresources is a symlink to .Xdefaults and I've had no problems either.
I just checked /usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc script and it thinks .Xresources
is the right file. Here's a small snippet from the file. The
$userresources variable is defined as 'usrresources=$HOME/.Xresources' in
the beginn

I am a little confused as to the difference between these two files. It
seems that they are basically the same, or at least they contain the same
type of information.
Which is preferrable to use? Can I use one, and then "source" it from the
other file (for programs which may use the other one)?
