See whether .xsession or .xinitrc sources it. You'll have to determine which of those two gnome-session uses. Stock Debian with [xkg]dm uses .xinitrc, I believe. I use startx and .xinitrc is ignored here. userresources=$HOME/.Xresources if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
