Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I've never found out the
difference in purposes of the two different files. Maybe they are
synonymous. Just to be sure, I have them hard-linked together so they
are the same file.
Until I get smarter, I do what works.
It's worthwhile to look at the "Resources" section of the man pages
for various X apps you use, and see if there are any other
characteristics you would like to customize in your ~/.Xresources (or
the other one).
Cheers,
