- Can anyone tell me why /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession loads from
- ".Xresources" instead of ".Xdefaults" by default? This is most
- annoying since the on-line documentation (i.e., "xrdb(1)" or the
- Showcase "Customizing Your Environment" slide)?
-
- Thanks.

- P.S. I have, of course, edited Xsession to load from $HOME/.Xdefaults
- on all my systems...
