With the caveat that I have not perused all possibly relevant configs on
my system, my install is fairly standard and my ~/.Xdefaults file has:
! $OpenBSD: dot.Xdefaults,v 1.3 2014/07/10 10:22:59 jasper Exp $
XTerm*loginShell:true
Yet if I run an xterm from my window manager (aweswome) it does not read
my ~/.profile. I worked around this by using the '-ls' argument to
xterm, but maybe that's hiding the real reason this is happening. I have
not tried any other window managers. For good measure, here is my
~/.xsession:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
xset +fp
/usr/local/share/fonts/Liberation,/usr/local/share/fonts/ghostscript,/usr/local/share/fonts/cantarell,/usr/local/share/fonts/noto
autocutsel -fork &
autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork &
xset mouse 4/1 4
xset r rate 200 50
exec awesome
