xrdb

[Goeman Stefan <Stefan.Goeman@siemens.atea.be>]

Hello Everybody,


I have put some things in a file .Xdefaults. I know that in order to make
these settings active I have to do
"xrdb .Xdefaults". This is no problem. The problem is that I want this
command to be executed automatically 
when I login in a gnome session.

Therefore I have created the file .xsession as follows (PS: I use gdm):

xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults
exec gnome-session

This does not seem to work.


Also, I have tried to put the "xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults" line into the
.bash-profile (or .bashrc) file.
Now I first have to start a terminal window in order to activate the
settings in .Xdefaults.

My question is, where do I have to put "xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults" in order to
have this executed when I log in a gnome session ?


Greetings,

Stefan Goeman.
