how do i make the aterm read the ~/.Xdefaults file
 

i just copied a ~/.Xdefaults file to configure aterm..but when i start aterm it does not come up with the configurations that are on the file...i have it in my home directory...
the configurations look like this...

aterm*loginShell:true
aterm*transparent:true
aterm*shading:60
aterm*background:Black
aterm*foreground:White
aterm*scrollBar:true
aterm*scrollBar_right:true
aterm*transpscrollbar:true
aterm*saveLines:32767
aterm*font:*-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
aterm*boldFont:*-*-fixed-bold-r-normal--*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

any ideas?????how do i make aterm read from this file....the file was not there originally.....any ideas..........

What distro,I think debian uses .Xresources or something

did you restart X? some distros require you restart X before it will read the .Xdefaults file...

i am using fedora 3..
i even restarted the computer

okay it was just fedora being fedora...i used the Xresources instead of Xdefaults.....thanks guys...

thanks for posting back what worked...i'm sure it will help someone else out...:)
