Just in case: the command
xrdb -merge .Xresources
is definitely run when X is called. The resources in .Xresources are
merged with those in /etc/X11. If you issue the same command from a
terminal nothing happens to alter the resources available because
they have already been merged.
xrdb .Xresources (xrdb -load .Xresources)
wipes out the resources loaded from /etc/X11 and gives you only what
is in .Xresources.
Your initial understanding of this led you away from a solution to the
actual problem. Not to worry; everyone does it and everybody learns. :)
