- Subject: xterm: Running text apps from the menu system does not use my ~/.Xresources?

Package: xterm
Version: 3.3.6-10
Severity: normal
Untill recently, running a text app (like top, lynx, mc, gnuplot, pstree) from
the menu system opened an xterm which used my ~/.Xresources.
Yet now the situation is that I need to use ctrl+somemouse botton in order to choose the right setup from the xterm menus. The only thing that seems to still reading the ~/.Xresources when it is run from the menu system is xterm itself.
[17:12:24 /tmp]$ cat ~/.Xresources |grep xterm
xterm*Font: 10x20
xterm*ScrollBar: true
xterm*colorMode: true
xterm*customization: -color
[17:12:38 /tmp]$
