- On my 5000/200 (Ultrix 4.2), when I change something in ~/.Xdefaults,
- I always do
-
- % xrdb -load < .Xdefaults
-
- Then, the changes take. Of course, if the application whose resource
- settings I changed is still running, I have to shut it down and start it
- back up again.
-
- But at least I don't have to log off.
-
- Just my $0.02
