Subject: emacs not finding Xdefaults
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 06:10:24 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b9d2e506-2ecf-40b5-a276-f1ee7991942f@d27g2000prf.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I have a .Xdefaults file containing things like
emacs-snapshot-gtk*Background: Wheat
emacs-snapshot-gtk*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-
m-70-iso8859-1
I also have emacs-snapshot-gtk in my startup programs in gnome.
Strangely when X starts it does not use these settings but if I start
emacs-snapshot-gtk from the shell it finds them.
The last time this happened when I ran xrdb < .Xdefaults the problem
got corrected. This time no such luck.
The only clue of what brought this on is that I edited .bashrc and
introduced a syntax error.
Even after removing it however the error is still there.
System: debian etch
