I'm running XQuartz 2.5.1_rc1 on MacOS 10.6.4. What's the Right Way (tm)
to load X resources on startup? I'm particularly interested in avoiding a
race condition between the xresources load and the start of the initial
client application.
In more detail:
I have some resource settings, some of which affect xterm, in ~/.Xresources
-- the location where /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc appears to look for
them.
If you move your xterm-specific resource settings to ~/Xterm, does that
solve your problem? I believe Thomas Dickey mentioned the ~/Xterm file a
few years ago as the prefered way to set user-specific xterm resources
at start up. It works for me on Debian and on OS X 10.4, 10.5, and
10.6.
