.Xdefaults. If you have include files in your .Xdefaults, those are not
read.

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
