Description: Xresources are not loaded by xorg-xrdb because
xorg-xrdb is not an optional dependency of lightdm despite
being used in /etc/lightdm/Xsession.
I am honestly not sure how much of a bug it is, but while you can do perfectly well without Xresources, it seems preferable that it would be listed as the optional dependency it is based on the bundled /etc/lightdm/Xsession. However, the same can be said for xorg-setxkbmap and xorg-xmodmap, and as such, it seems as though it is almost by design. Is there a rationale for these to not be listed as optional dependencies when they're executed from /etc/lightdm/Xsession by default? Additional info: * lightdm 1:1.30.0-2 * See line 19 in /etc/lightdm/Xsession Steps to reproduce: 1. Install lightdm and enable it as the DM. 2. Ensure xorg-xrdb is not installed. 3. Install xorg-xrdb afterwards and execute xrdb -query to see empty Xresources |

Added xrdb and xmodmap as deps. Setxkbmap is transitive already
via xorg-server.
