Hide Forgot
In kdebase-3.0.0-12 (and rawhide's kdebase-3.0.1-1) , it appears that the kdeinit line in /usr/bin/startkde resets Xresources, ie, my ~/.Xresources are not being used/loaded. Only after I put if [ -f "$HOME/.Xresources" ]; then xrdb -merge "$HOME/.Xresources" fi after the kdeinit step do my Xresources get loaded/used. If xrdb is not used here, or put before the kdeinit step, the Xresources are once again not loaded.
The X resources also get reset after changing some colors in the KDE Control Center, whether "apply colors to non-KDE applications" is checked or not.

Created attachment 58185 [details] Makes KDE honour Xresources (just like 2.x)
I can confirm that the patch works as advertised (against rawhide's kdebase-3.0.1-1). Thanks!
Hmmm, while Limbo beta1 did not unload my ~./Xresources and worked as expected with regard to this, the problem is back with Limbo beta2. Now both Valhalla and Limbo beta2 do not accept my ~/.Xresources and I must load them manually. That checkbox mentioned in a comment above does not affect this.
