Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-12 20:49:19 UTC
You added --enable-xgetdefault to the -r11 ebuild.. when its set.. I can't manage to load the X resources from either ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources .. and I really dont know why...
Comment 1 Eric Paynter 2005-01-17 20:30:11 UTC
Here is a quick workaround that works for me:

emerge =x11-terms/aterm-0.4.2-r9
Comment 2 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-17 21:37:39 UTC
yes, the difference between the -r9 and -r11 ebuild is the --enable-xgetdefault ... 
Comment 3 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-18 05:25:03 UTC
Are you sure your ~/.Xresources is loaded properly? Are entries from that file listed in `xrdb -query`?
Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-18 09:55:11 UTC
arg.. now it works.. I dont know what I changed.... probably my fault
