From what reading I did= =20 about this a while ago, you need to tell KDE to read your X settings as it= =20 starts. I have a little sh script in ~/.kde/Autostart/load_Xdefaults.sh: #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb ] && /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -load $HOME/.Xdefaults Looking at your XTerm file, you should be able to load it in much the same= =20 way.
