>Description:
	
KDE3 has a bug that causes it to delete any resources loaded by xrdb
prior to launching kde.



>How-To-Repeat:
	
run xrdb .Xresources prior to launching startkde (eg, via a .xinitrc
script).


>Fix:

There's a patch that makes the code function as the commentary within
that code describes (ie, merge new resources rather than replacing):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65098

Please consider including this as a patch to the FreeBSD port for
kdebase3.  It applies ok with some line number fudge factor.

Thanks.
