Bug#649187: x11-xserver-utils: xrdb(1) man page references deprecated ~/.Xdefaults



Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.6+3
Severity: minor

The xrdb(1) man page lists the deprecated ~/.Xdefaults file in its FILES
section. Please mention ~/.Xresources, which should be used instead.

>From xsession(5):

  $HOME/.Xresources
  contains X resources specific to the invoking user's environment.  The
  settings are loaded with xrdb -merge.  Note that $HOME/.Xdefaults is a
  relic from X Version 10 (and X11R1) days,  before app-defaults  files
  were implemented.  It has been deprecated for over ten years at the
  time of this writing.  .Xresources should be used instead.
