Hello!
After boot-up, but before log-in, comes a warning window with the following message:
Xsession: warning XRDB command not found: X resources not merged.
At first, I was getting a small square window with a large lightbulb. It said:
Xsession
and needed to be "OK'd". Then and now everything seems to start normally, but I'm worried. What is the meaning of this warning?
my x-windows is xfce4

Try
find /etc/gdm/ -type f | xargs grep -i xrdb
and see what shows up. Do you have xrdb installed?
man xrdb:
DESCRIPTION
Xrdb is used to get or set the contents of the
RESOURCE_MANAGER property on the root window of screen 0, or
the SCREEN_RESOURCES property on the root window of any or all
screens, or everything combined. You would normally run
this program from your X startup file.
Most X clients use the RESOURCE_MANAGER and SCREEN_RESOURCES
properties to get user preferences about color, fonts,
and so on for applications.

Err...
Slightly wrong directory, I guess:
