Many configurations like the popular solarized color theme (https://github.com/solarized/xresources/blob/master/solarized) use this and you find some complaints about in on the internet https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164108 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1163129 http://superuser.com/questions/655857/urxvt-uses-pink-instead-of-solarized-until-i-run-xrdb-xresources/656213 I don't see a reason for not using the preprocessor and so did the editor of Xsession (the option is not used in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources) [Test Case] - Install solarized theme https://github.com/solarized/xresources/blob/master/solarized - Load default Xresources file (xrdb < .XDefaults ) - Now every macro supported by CPP will not work. [Regression Potential] * No regression potential advised, small (0.001%) load average increase on startup time because of enabling Cpp. [Solution] Backport default wily session to older releases.
