This is a bug in the Debian xfree86-3.3.6-7, and according to the
maintainer it'll be fixed in 3.3.6-8 (which should get into potato's
third test cycle). In the meantime, he provided a patch; the problem is
that system X resources aren't being read in, and this is controlled by
a script, so there's no need to rebuild X from source or anything to
apply the patch.
