xrdb questions

["Robert D. Crawford" <rdc1x@comcast.net>]

I am using fvwm with no dm.  I have been working on this problem for a
while and cannot seem to get it sorted.  I have the line:

xrdb ~/.Xdefaults

in my .xinitrc file.  The settings in there, however, are not being read
as I think they should.  I have, in my .fvwm2rc file lines that start
initially one rxvt and emacspeak.  The initial rxvt is not getting the
font or color settings, and the emacspeak is not getting the no menubar
and no scrollbars settings.  The lines are:

emacs.verticalScrollBars: off
emacs*menuBar: 0

rxvt*background: Black
rxvt*foreground: White
rxvt*cursorColor: White

.... etc.

There are other settings for emacs in the file, but they are also set in
the .emacs file.  

Any help would be appreciated,
