You are right James, and apologies to Jane. I sure had commited a mistake.
I was root and 'su - <account>' before the xrdb command.
To recover my mistake, under root I've issued : 'xrdb -load
/usr/OV/app-defaults/Nevents'
I've telnet'ed the account (to be sure to get rid of any root inheritance) and
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
and it worked fine, really.
thanks to the both of you,
Bernard Baudoux
