And don't forget to make sure that these resources are merged from
your ~/.xinitrc, because it won't be done automatically! (See man pages
for xinit and xstart.) 

$ head -12 ~/.xinitrc
#! /bin/sh

# First merge global resources
if [ -f /etc/X11/Xresources ] ; then
    xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources
fi

# Now local resources
if [ -f ~/.Xresources ] ; then
    xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
fi
