System name:		yaz-pistachio
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7L (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	Login without customizations (from Xlogin)

What's wrong:
	My .Xdefaults file was xrdb -loaded (or -merged or something).

What should have happened:
	That should not have happened. Firstly because Athena does
	not support the .Xdefaults file (instead uses the .Xresources
	file), and secondly because the only place in my dotfiles
	that my .Xdefaults file is referenced is my .xsession.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Without customizations means without customizations.
	This bug also ocurrs on the SGIs, and probably other
	Athena platforms, but I've not checked.
