I've done Ctl-Alt <f1> to log in on a new tty, with a different window
manager (stumpwm). The output of strace is what I'd expect - I've redacted
my user and host names:
[pid 7771] open("/home/username/.Xdefaults", O_RDONLY) = 10
[pid 7771] open("/home/username/.Xdefaults-host", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
[pid 7771] open("/home/username/.Xdefaults", O_RDONLY) = 10
[pid 7771] open("/home/username/.Xdefaults/host", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not
a directory)
I only have ~/.Xdefaults and no ~/.Xdefaults/host or ~/.Xdefaults/host
files.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
