Ah and why isn't the user informed during an upgrade about this? If you
don't look at all the Text in /usr/share/doc/rxvt/, you won't find this
information. Also in FAQ.Debian.gz the user only get's told that he
should put some values into .Xresources if he wants to change them for
all time. But not explanation that this file is prefered by X.
