Description Michael McLagan 2009-02-26 09:18:24 UTC
Description of problem:
The Rxvt resource file is not read from the app-defaults directory, instead looking in an old location.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rxvt-2.7.10-15.fc9.i386


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt with foreground and background settings.
2. Start rxvt
  
Actual results:

Default foreground and background colours are used.

Expected results:
Settings in Rxvt file are read and incorporated into settings.

Additional info:

strings `which rxvt` | grep Rxvt:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%-.*s/app-defaults/Rxvt
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt

Creating a symlink for the app-defaults directory works, but setting the proper defines when compiling the program is probably the right way to fix this.

#ifndef X11USRLIBDIR
# define X11USRLIBDIR		"/usr/X11R6/lib"
#endif
#ifndef X11LIBDIR
# define X11LIBDIR		X11USRLIBDIR "/X11"
#endif
#ifndef XAPPLOADDIR
# define XAPPLOADDIR		X11LIBDIR "/app-defaults" 
# define XAPPLOADDIRLOCALE	X11LIBDIR "/%-.*s/app-defaults"
#endif

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 11:14:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 08:03:28 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
