Comment 2 for bug 1244578

I think that cpp has been disabled for performance reasons: few people use .Xresources, and fewer use cpp processing directives in their .Xresources.

As you are manually editing your .Xresources only once in a while it would be more efficient for session initialization to process your X ressources definitions yourself through cpp just once after your editing.

So I propose to mark this bug as WONTFIX.
