Sure, but do you realise how long it took to identify the culprit after the
enforced settings did not even allow me to see the mode-line because of
terrible contrast. Make things easy for users, rather than even more difficult.
Who understands how Xresources works when a user does not even have a user-level
configuration dotfile in "~/.Xresources".

The complaint is about the problems associated from taking instructions from x-resources.
The problem is simply shifted around to the Trisquel or MATE developers, rather than
continuing to rely on a likely broken x-resource database.
