I've noticed that on this new box, ~/.Xdefaults is not read in at the
start of each app, as I was used to on previous boxen.
I see that GetDflt.c only reads ~/.Xdefaults if (dpy->xdefaults == NULL).
All I've found so far from scanning the src is that dpy->xdefaults is
read from the server via GetProperty.
I'm getting the impression that this dist uses xrdb to read in
~/.Xresources where my previous dists just let libX11 read them in
from ~/.Xdefaults. Does that sound like a reasonable assessment?
(I should note here that /etc/skel on this dist has .Xresources
as a symlink to .Xdefaults.)
My workaround for now was to symlink ~/.Xdefaults-${HOSTNAME}
to ~/.Xdefaults, since that is read in regardless.
