At startup & if palette changes are made (even if apply to all apps is deselected), xfce forgets all current resource settings and only reloads what is set in a users personal file. If there is no personal ~/.Xresources, it just forgets everything. Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. while in xfce, use xrdb to load something into resource db 2. use appres to verify 3. open settings dlg and load a diff. palette 4. call appres again Expected results: identical output on both calls to appres Actual results: second call to appres returns nothing
seems to be an upstream bug...xfce3 will be deprecated very shortly, you might wanna try xfce4
xfce4 is out and xfce3 is deprecated
