I know. That's what I thought. But since fixing the "command line
arguments" problem fixed my .Xresources issue, I just didn't really
care to devote energy into looking into it.
For the record, though. I don't do any xrdb stuff in any of my
startup. This produces nothing:
grep -R xrdb {~/.,/etc/}{bash,profile}*

That is all the code there is for /A/U/X11.app . It just does:
/usr/bin/login -fp <your login> /bin/sh -c xterm
It used to do
/usr/bin/login -fp <your login> xterm
but I had problems getting .Xresources that way and it also didn't
work if "xterm" was user-modified to have command line arguments.
Jeremy,
Do you have something in your startup scripts that manually merges
your .Xresources? There's nothing about your change that should
affect the resources problem in any way unless that's the case. The
xinitrc race condition still exists, and if I start, e.g. NEdit from
Terminal.app it does not get its resources initialized properly. This
is a true design flaw (perhaps the *only* major one) in the launchd
scheme.
