[opensuse-factory] X resource handling broken
After upgrading almost all packages related to graphics so that I get a working configuration for my i945 card (and I really need the bleeding edge, or it crashes in various ways), I suddenly can't start Emacs or any other program which relies on X resources. I get errors like Undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" and indeed, saying appres I see *XmTextField.background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND *XmTextField.foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND *Dialog.background: BACKGROUND *Dialog.foreground: FOREGROUND ... which means that strings like WINDOW_BACKGROUND aren't expanded to proper colours. I use KDE. Is this a known problem? Which package or initialization script is responsible for this expansion?

Umm, maybe I'm on the wrong list here for this question... Whom shall I ask for such kind of problems? A search in the internet doesn't give anything meaningful (in particular because I don't know what to search for). I believe it is caused by an update of opensuse factory packages (but I have no idea which part of it) from X 7.4 stuff to 7.5. Or KDE 4.4.1 to 4.4.2.

I'd say it's the bump to xorg-server 1.8, alot changed so there is stuff to shake out, also the XOrg team seems very busy with the transmission, there is the opensuse-xorg list you could try, or even better file a bugreport.

I've now updated everything (this is, more than 1200 packages), and the problem disappeared. However, I'm still curious which program/script does the conversion from the WINDOW_FOREGROUND macro (and its siblings) to real colors...
