Hi Guys,
as it has been pointed out already [1], xfce4's xinitrc runs xrdb -merge on the
user's Xresources file using the -nocpp option. While I can certainly
understand the benefit of using -nocpp for well-defined system-wide resources,
doing so on a user's Xresources file (which in fact often contains cpp
preprocessor directives) results in undefined behaviour and breaks
compatibility with other desktops environments. Instead, I would prefer to have
either the -nocpp option or the xrdb call removed completely. The latter will
simply result in the correct behavior on most distributions since there the
user's Xresources are already (correctly) loaded without -nocpp by a
system-wide xsession.d-snippet.
cheers,
erik
