[arch-general] Gnome wayland + urxvt

[Leonidas Spyropoulos via arch-general]

Hello,

New Gnome 3.22 which comes with wayland breaks urxvt. I'm using the
.xsession to start the daemon (urxvtd) and .Xresources to configure
the urxvt.

What's the alternative in the new wayland world? How do you configure
these now?

Thanks

If you read urxvt(1), under RESOURCES, you'll see all the different
possible ways of configuring urxvt. $HOME/.Xdefaults is the one I use.

Gnome on Wayland doesn't parse ~/.Xresources anymore[1]. The workaround
is loading ~/.Xresources manually or adding a startup entry to load
~/.Xresources.
