Problem with .Xresources

[Steven W. Orr]

When I log in, I want to get my .Xresources file loaded. That is not 
happening. Then I found a file called /etc/X11/Xresources

I added the content of my .Xresources file to it

*customization: -color
*StringConversionWarnings: on

But when I log in, it still does not get loaded. Anyone?

TIA

Reboot or Restart the X-server logout may not restart X.

How do you know that $HOME/.Xresources is not being looked at?
Can you set something obvious that does not wack your desktop
perhaps-- xterm background Fuchsia

Check permissions:
    ls -ld $HOME
    ls -l  $HOME/.Xresources
