Public bug reported:

When logging into my fresh install of xubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron), xfce
fails to merge the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb into the xrdb
database.  This is a problem because the settings I chose in the user
interface control panel are not honored by certain applications (e.g.
firefox 3).

Upon login:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q
*customization: -color
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb Xft.antialias: 0
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.rgba: none

Opening the user interface settings, changing a setting, and closing it
again, causes my settings to be merged.  Here's the same command output
after doing so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q
*customization: -color
Xft.antialias:  0
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.rgba:       none
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb 
Xft.antialias: 0
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.rgba: none

I'm not willing to use hardy if it requires me to manually reconfigure
my UI every time I log in.

I don't know what package is responsible for merging xrdb settings.

I think there may be an upstream debian bug, since this guy seems to be having 
the same problem:
