* CORRECTION *  It is necessary to specify the class or instance for
correct application of preferences when logging in to a fresh session
due to the app defaults in:

/etc/X11/app-defaults/XClock*


>From the xclock man page:

"WIDGETS
       In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the 
widgets which compose xclock.  In the notation below, indentation indicates 
hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the 
widget instance name.

       XClock  xclock
               Clock  clock
"

so, my corrected .Xresources file would be this:


~$ cat .Xresources 
*background: #000000
*foreground: #ffffff

XClock.Clock.majorColor:        #666666
XClock.Clock.minorColor:        #444444
XClock.Clock.hourColor:         #888888
XClock.Clock.minuteColor:       #888888
XClock.Clock.secondColor:       #222222
XClock*geometry:                350x350-125+75
