Hello.
How can I save settings for xterm font and colors (instead of typing all parameters "xterm -fn *-fixed-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-koi8-r -bg black -fg white" every time)? I'd like to do this without setting alias (if possible). Some articles suggest to store color in ~/.Xdefaults file and use "xrdb -merge" after that, however, this stopped working and wasn't saving color settings between sessions (I had to call "xrdb -merge" manually0. And I wasn't able to set font this way.

I'm using Slackware 11 with KDE 3.5.4, "xterm -version" returns "XTerm(207)".

I don't have slackware, but it depends on where your X11 looks for the resources. Another common place for it is $HOME/.Xresources (that's what I have in my SuSE 9.2. And it works)

It might also be that the desktop manager doesn't load resources at all. You should check that info in slackware forums.

Hope it helps. Don't forget also to check the X manpage for mor info on X11 resources.
