Version: 0.1 (using KDE 4.5.0) OS: Linux kdm does not use/ignores /etc/X11/Xresources This can cause e.g. xfig do be displayed in a wrong way. (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504624 ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: To prove the above do: xrdb -query | grep customization Actual Results: no output Expected Results: *customization: -color as this is present in /etc/X11/Xresources OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.34-12-default Compiler: gcc
customizing Xsession to do more than the bare minimum is up to the distributors, so i'm tempted to simply reject the request. otoh, we try rather hard to load ~/.profile and co.
SVN commit 1174288 by ossi: load system and user Xresources in Xsession FEATURE: 249139 M +5 -0 genkdmconf.c WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1174288
Hi. The commit fixing this report doesn't look right: "for i in /etc/X11/Xresources/*; do\n" " [ -f $i ] && xrdb -merge $i\n" "done\n" /etc/X11/Xresources isn't a directory, it's a file in fact; this is the case in Mageia, Mandriva and Fedora (and looking at the novell bug linked in the bug description, I think it's a file in Suse too). So it should just be: [ -f $i ] && xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources IIUC.

Pushed by ossi into branch 'KDE/4.6'. apparently, /etc/X11/Xresources can be a file, too CCBUG: 249139 FIXED-IN: 4.6.4 (cherry picked from commit 36516393320760bbcb0dfd867cdd635e935fdb38) M +7 -3 kdm/kfrontend/genkdmconf.c http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/0197011030d6e8a6fba95325a6ca6da30421b2b6
