[SOLVED] .Xresources not merged by .xinitrc

edit:
replaced `startx /usr/bin/i3` in .bash_profile with `startx`...

Hi,
When I start X with startx /usr/bin/i3 (in my ~/.bash_profile), my .Xresources isn't loaded.

Immediately after startx:

$ xrdb -query all
$

After running `xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources` manually:

$ xrdb -query all
XTerm*background:       linen
XTerm*faceName: Monospace
XTerm*faceSize: 10
XTerm*foreground:       black
XTerm*renderFont:       true
XTerm*saveLines:        100000
XTerm*scrollBar:        true
XTerm.vt100.translations:       #override \n Ctrl <Key> plus: larger-vt-font() \n Ctrl <Key> minus: smaller-vt-font()

.xinitrc:

$ cat ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh

[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge -I$HOME ~/.Xresources

for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f

exec i3

.Xresources:

$ cat ~/.Xresources 
XTerm*renderFont:       true
XTerm*faceName:         Monospace
XTerm*faceSize:         10

XTerm*background:       linen
XTerm*foreground:       black

XTerm*saveLines:        100000
XTerm*scrollBar:        true

XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n\
  Ctrl <Key> plus: larger-vt-font() \n\
  Ctrl <Key> minus: smaller-vt-font()

Any ideas? Thanks.
