I had a similar problem in the past[*], where something in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm wasn't overridden by my setting. Since then, I no longer use system-wide defaults. My .xinitrc now contains: XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/.app-defaults export XAPPLRESDIR XFILESEARCHPATH=$XAPPLRESDIR export XFILESEARCHPATH [*] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=167495 -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
