I haven't tried either yet but just experimenting here, I moved my old .Xdefauts into ~/, backed clear out to a console login, restarted X only to find my .Xdefaults are completely ignored.
I'm running xfce4 as desktop and window manager, but .Xdefaults
should be noticed ... right?
You would've thought :-) I did notice (on Shrike) when I was adding one of those cool new XCursor themes that I had to put the settings in ~/.Xdefaults-<hostname> - I do have an Xdefaults, but I havne't checked whether it's being used (I don't recall putting it there ...).
