- Yeah... We saw it here, too. Apparently, our problem was with
- '#' sign delimited comments in .Xdefaults. If the comment
- appears on the line, it nullifies any resource change made.
- So, check and see if they're there and if so, remove 'em, or
- replace 'em with '!' delimiters. I think that should fix
- it.
