- Are you using VUE? If so, then you have a couple of options. VUE
- manages its X resource database, and by default does not use
- ~/.Xdefaults. If you want VUE to manage these X resources, then
- do:
-
- $ xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
-
- and this will merge the .Xdefaults resources into those managed by
- VUE. They will be saved automatically at the end of your session
- if VUE is set up to reload the "current" session on startup. If
- you have a "home" session saved, you will need to resave.
-
- If you do not want VUE to manage these X resources, set the
- XENVIRONMENT environment variable to point to $HOME/.Xdefaults.
- This must be done in ~/.vueprofile. For sh or ksh it would
- look like
-
- XENVIRONMENT=$HOME/.Xdefaults
- export XENVIRONMENT
-
- As a last alternative, you can set the *resources resource. See
- vuelogin(1x) for details. Be careful with this option. If you
- do not have things set up properly, VUE may stop working for you.
-
- If you are not using VUE, please provide more information about
- your environment.
