I have the following in .Xresources:

*geometry: +10-10


I start exmh this way:

 nice +6 exmh -geometry 508x736+100+70 &

however, it prioritizes the xresource over the command line and and
gives an error:

 tkerror failed to handle background error.
    Original error: no more colors left in colormap; changing screen's color model to monochrome
    Error in tkerror: invalid command name: "tkerror"
bad geometry "+10-10": expected widthxheight

[1]    Exit 1                 exmh -geometry 508x736+100+70


I also have the same problem with starting xstapler:

 nice +14 xstapler -geometry -20+20 &
