May i suggest to have a closer look at "man startx"
Basicly in that manpage you will read the following text:
...
To determine the client to run, startx first looks for a
file called .xinitrc in the user's home directory. If
...
Now lets have a look at the .xinitrc file in my homedirectory:
...
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
...
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
...
Now you clearly see that the X-resourcefile that is merged into
the X-Server resources for a particular user should be named
.Xresources
This is valid when using "startx" for starting X. If xdm is used,
your approach would have been correct.
You could have solved this problem easily on your own, by just
typing "man startx".
Do it.
