See whether .xsession or .xinitrc sources it.  You'll have to
determine which of those two gnome-session uses.  Stock Debian with
[xkg]dm uses .xinitrc, I believe.  I use startx and .xinitrc is
ignored here.

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
  xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
