User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-12 i686)

Description of problem:
rxvt doesn't use the X server resource database, but instead directly read
.Xdefaults. If you have include files in your .Xdefaults, those are not
read. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rxvt-2.7.6-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add rxvt-specific ressources in a file (eg. rxvt*background: blue)
2. Add "#include /path/to/the/file" in your .Xdefault
3. Lauch rxvt and notice how the ressources were not read
	

Actual Results:  rxvt background was white

Expected Results:  rxvt background should be blue

Additional info:

The rest of the system is an up-to-date RH 7.1
