Nicolas Georges gave some interesting information once when I said that
.Xdefaults was "deprecated" concerning what is read by what where and
why (went over my head, of course).

Here it is:

Well, I was gonna give the link but it's short enough to quote:

(responding to my claim that .Xdefaults is deprecated)

 It is a bit more complicated than that.

 ~/.Xresources is loaded into the resources database of the X11 server by
 /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources. The resource database is a
 property of the root window, you can observe it roughly with "xprop -root",
 see the RESOURCE_MANAGER entry; "xrdb -query" is the dedicated tool to
 observe it.

 ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xdefaults-$HOSTNAME are read by the X11 libraries
 directly.

 It makes a big difference for remote applications, since they will see the
 .Xresources from the server but the .Xdefaults from the client.
