Two different names for the same thing.

Either mv $HOME/.Xdefaults $HOME/.Xresources

or

edit /etc/X11/Xsession and change the value of userresources

or

write a .xinitrc that does all the work of /etc/X11/Xsession, customized to
use whatever dotfiles you like.

The manpages for startx, xinit, and Xsession in the forthcoming slink
release will be much more clear about this stuff.
