?? .Xdefaults ??
Some time ago I used a file ".Xdefaults" where things like
emacs*Background: DarkSlateGray
emacs*Foreground: White
emacs*pointerColor: Orchid
emacs*cursorColor: Orchid
emacs*bitmapIcon: on
etc. stands. I found in the initial .Xsession that the default place is
usrresources=$HOME/.Xresources
so I changed the files in that folder (like adding another default backround for xterm). Why doesn't this have any influence neither if i start with "startx" nor "xdm"?? Why is debian so different from other unixes who use ".Xdefaults"? Where can I place my preferences for X????
Thanks for any help
Peter
