As perhaps an unhelpful and not necessarily related data point, there exists a bug report concerning Xresources and Emacs 24.4, the insect consisting of the former remaining unread or "unrespected" (which may not be a word) in the Mate desktop environment when using the latter. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770781 https://superuser.com/questions/1351751/xresources-not-loaded-under-mate-desktop (Set the active attribute to false under 'org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.xrdb' with dconf-editor?) -- "J'ai pour me guérir du jugement des autres toute la distance qui me sépare de moi."
