Same here, with current Debian X server/libraries, and xterm 222 with
libXt 1.0.2, xterm 213 with libXt 1.0.0, xterm 200 with libXt from XF86
4.3.
$HOME/.Xdefaults is only read if (!pd->server_db), which is not the case
here (see libXt/src/Initialize.c:XtScreenDatabase()). I'll try to see
what happens with a different server.
In any case, this is not a bug in xterm, the same happens with the other
clients I tried (xmessage, for instance).
Cheers,
Julien
