Anyone know why =>this might be? My ~/.emacs is the default one. => =>Braden I just ran editres on my box and it looks like the instance has changed from emacs to emacs-x. That would break your resource file. The best solution (besides using the new instance name) is to specify using the classname which is still Emacs. Also, I've had better luck creating a a local app-default directory and pointing to it with XUSERFILESEARCHPATH. Then I populate the directory with files whose name are the classnames of the clients. It's so much easier than using .Xresources. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.
