Two different names for the same thing.

Either mv $HOME/.Xdef
Hi,
Look at /etc/X11/Xsession. It looks at $HOME/.xsession
(startup file) and $HOME/.Xresources (user defined resources).
The latter is merged, using xrdb -merge, the former is
executed at start up (as long as the line allow-user-xsession is
present in /etc/X11/config).
My .Xresources is a symlink to .Xdefaults and I've had no problems either.
I just checked /usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc script and it thinks .Xresources
is the right file. Here's a small snippet from the file. The
$userresources variable is defined as 'usrresources=$HOME/.Xresources' in
the beginn
