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.
