In an earlier mail within this thread you listed the output from command

   xrdb -query -all | grep -i emacs

This command listed the Emacs specific entries in the "X server resource
database".   "xrdb" is only listing  the sum of configuration specifica-
tions others, like your administrator,  your window manager, other soft-
ware or you personally (via file "~/.Xresources") are providing.

So whereever these specifications originate from,  you can override them
in your personal "~/.Xresources" file.  Just run

   xrdb -query -all | grep -i emacs > ~/.Xresources

and then edit this file to your heart's content.

Michael,   are you sure Gnu Emacs  is actually opening file "~/.Xresour-
ces"?  I'd suspect it just queries the "X server resource database" like
anybody else.   For me the current case  is pointing in exactly this di-
rection.

On some Linux distributions  (not sure about Ubuntu and Trisquel) X11 is
providing system wide  default resource specifications.   So it's better
to use one's own as described above.
