I have found that (at least on my system), this only occurs when the xrdb executable cannot be found by wdm. According to the man page, it looks at /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb. I don't know if that is actually true as it still didn't work when I created the X11R6 symlink...
however, all I had to do was (as per the man page) to add this line to wdm-config: DisplayManager*xrdb: /usr/bin/xrdb Once you tell it where xrdb is, the error should go away. Without a working path to xrdb executable, the program will assume that Xresources* is a shell script (see session.c for the mechanics) This does not appear to be a bug in the program.
