[Bug 483627] [NEW] kde4 trashes X resources

[Dinh-Tuan Pham]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

The kde4 in karmic (and also jaunty) destroys the my Xressourecs set in the file
/etc//X11/Xresources/xbase-clients and are loaded by
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources

Note that the resssources are lost during the execution of the script startkde. They can be
restored by issuing by hand after kde has started the command

xrdb -merge /etc//X11/Xresources/xbase-clients

Curiously, the X ressources are preserved if one has checked in the control panel the item
"force the PPP of fonts", which sets the Xft.dpi ressource. Of course when KDE set the
Xft.dpi, it would not destrpy it. By why it destrys other resources (my XEmacs ressources in
particular) when the Xft.dpi ressource is not set ?
