Hi, I was going through some old bug reports and found yours.  I'm
sorry no one replied to you sooner.

You reported:

> What were you trying to do?
> run xrdb from my .startup.tty file

> What's wrong:
> it works on nerd-xing, but not on mint-square.
> When I type xrdb ~/.ttyresources from the command line, though, it always works.

Can you let us know if you are still having this problem?  mint-square
and nerd-xing are configured identically, so I suspect the problem is
somethign more subtle that just a problem with mint-square.  If you
are still having the problem, can you tell me how you are logging in
(telnet? ssh? from a pc? from a mac?, from a unix machine?) and how it
fails (does it give you an error?  are teh resources just not set?
somethign else?)  Could you also include a copy of your .startup.tty
file, asuming there is noting private in it?
