** Summary changed:
- xfce ignores .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb
+ xfce's xinitrc ignores ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb
** Description changed:
When logging into my fresh install of xubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron), xfce
fails to merge the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb into the xrdb
database. This is a problem because the settings I chose in the user
- interface control panel are not honored by certain applications (e.g.
- firefox 3).
+ interface control panel go into that file, but since they are not merged
+ into xrdb at login time, they are never seen by certain applications
+ (e.g. firefox 3).
Upon login:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q
*customization: -color
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb Xft.antialias: 0
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.rgba: none
Opening the user interface settings, changing a setting, and closing it
again, causes my settings to be merged. Here's the same command output
after doing so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q
*customization: -color
Xft.antialias:0
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle:hintfull
Xft.rgba: none
+
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb
Xft.antialias: 0
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.rgba: none
- I'm not willing to use hardy if it requires me to manually reconfigure
- my UI every time I log in.
-
- I don't know what package is responsible for merging xrdb settings.
+ I believe the xfce4-utils package owns /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc, which is
+ responsible for merging my xrdb settings.
I think there may be an upstream debian bug, since this guy seems to be
having the same problem:
