(Get the code!)
I think that cpp has been disabled for performance reasons.
@iGEL, 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 through cpp just once after your editing.
So the workaround is:
( echo "! Do not edit .Xresources but .Xresources.def" ; echo "! Rebuild with cpp -P .Xresources.def .Xresources" ; cat .Xresources ) > .Xresources.def
Every time you want to change your X resources, edit .Xresources.def and then:
cpp -P .Xresources.def .Xresources
