Any reason to change to =>~/.xresources, for example. Clients that are gnome or kde should use their own system for initializatiom. Other clients that are strictly X stuff should continue to have their resources set the old way. But consistent with the old way is to not use the .Xdefaults file. Instead, set your XFILESEARCHPATH and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH variables which would get loaded at client startup time instead of at X server startup time. -- -Time flies like the wind.
