hi, on the wiki post of `.Xresources` (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_resources) is suggested to use it rather than `.Xdefaults`.
I use it for a bit of themes for urxvt and some Appearance settings but seems that GNOME Shell doesn't load it at boot (with `.Xdefaults` all is ok but i can't use statement such as `include`).
Currently I use 'xrdb' to load it manually and is a bit annoying, someone as the same problem or know a solution?
Thank you in advance

Usually either the display manager (DM) loads it or, when using startx instead of a DM, you run xrdb in ~/.xinitrc.
Edit: but this is actually what the wiki says...

Hi, really thank you!
I thought the responsibility was on the DE!
I've solved putting the xrdb command inside a file called '.xprofile' executed by GDM at the beginning of the X user session

GDM's Xsession script does run xrdb, but it uses the -nocpp option and you said you wanted to use #include directives, so that explains why it didn't work.
Please mark thread solved by editing the first post and prepending [SOLVED] to the title.
