.Xresources not loading on start

[Anubhav Yadav <anubhav1691@gmail.com>]

Hello,
Suddenly my .Xresources are not working on startup. Meaning I have to
manually startup a terminal and issue "xrdb .Xresources" and restart
the shell to see my colors.

I am using(learning to use) i3 although I have xfce installed, and I
start i3/xfce from lightdm.

Now I remember doing two things after which this started happening:

1) I changed the colors of my .Xresources from base16-tomorrow to molokai.
Here is my .Xresources http://paste.debian.net/87922

To be a little more precise, the previous scheme had the colors
defined like this:

#define t_background #1d1f21
#define t_current_line #282a2e
#define t_selection #373b41
#define t_foreground #c5c8c6
#define t_comment #969896
#define t_red #cc6666
#define t_orange #de935f
#define t_yellow #f0c674
#define t_green #b5bd68
#define t_aqua #8abeb7
#define t_blue #81a2be
#define t_purple #b294bb


*.foreground: t_foreground
*.background: t_background
*.cursorColor: #aeafad

! Black / Grey
*.color0: #000000
*.color8: #666666

! Red / Bright Red
*.color1: t_red
*.color9: #FF3334

! Green + Bright Green
*.color2: t_green
*.color10: #9ec400
......
[snipped]

And the new colors are directly put like this

!Molokai terminal colours
*foreground:#a0a0a0
*background:#1b1d1e

!molokai inspired colors

!black
*color0:    #1b1d1e
*color8:    #505354
!red
*color1:    #f92672
*color9:    #ff5995
!green
*color2:    #82b414
*color10:   #b6e354
!yellow
*color3:    #fd971f
*color11:   #feed6c
!blue
*color4:    #56c2d6
*color12:   #8cedff

2) I edited the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and added this line:
user-session=i3
to make i3 as default in i3.

3) I created a file ~/.xessionrc and added the line to it
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
