I generally have my init file without inhibiting x-resources.  Because my init
file is broken, I got to rely on some default setup.  Would there be 
side-effects
if I always inhibit x-resources when using my init file?

The problem I have with using x-resources is that the text in the mode line
is extremely difficult to read.  Cannot see a thing.
