Can anyone tell me why /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession loads from
".Xresources" instead of ".Xdefaults" by default? This is most
annoying since the on-line documentation (i.e., "xrdb(1)" or the
Showcase "Customizing Your Environment" slide)?

Thanks.

P.S. I have, of course, edited Xsession to load from $HOME/.Xdefaults
on all my systems...
