[oclug] kde shortcuts

[Michael P. Soulier]

On 10/10/02 Gilles J. Seguin did speaketh:

> .Xdefaults .Xresources files are suppose to be used
> for global effects, not sink for every things.

    Nonsense. All of one's X customization is supposed to happen there. If it
were only for global use, it would affect every user on the box, and what's
the point in that? I want to customize _my_ session.

    Nonsense. The X resource manager parses it once, and then every X app
talks to the resource database to get only information that is specific to
itself. Even if you were right, xterm still opens far faster than
gnome-terminal and konsole. xmix opens instantly. etc etc

> The extension .ad is for app-defaults to give clue

    What does Netscrape have to do with this?

[msoulier at biryani msoulier]$ grep Xdefaults ~/.xsession
if [ -e $HOME/.Xdefaults ]; then
    xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults

    And the issue is?
