As a consequence of xorg ignoring my .Xdefaults I've created .Xdefaults-fqdn and it's being used. That's not the problem. I'd like to change that behaviour though because pretty much all other Linux distros I've ever used before used .Xdefaults and most documentation you find about .Xdefaults entries point user to .Xdefaults in the homedir. Yeah I could create symlinks but I rather change it completely to .Xdefaults. I deploy a tarball with all my dotfiles on a Webserver and I don't want to rename .Xdefaults on every workstation I fetch the tarballs via script. I bet the search path of .Xdefaults is some sort of config option that can be changed somewhere. I tried searching in /usr/local/lib/X11, env startx, env xorg but no luck. Any idea where I can change it? Sandra
