I have a xresources file to customise xterm and running xrdb -merge it loads in fine. Starting a new xterm with xterm, I can confirm it has been loaded in OK.

However when I start a new xterm with xterm -name foobar it looses my config and goes back to the defaults.

This is an issue because I am using multixterm which in the background is starting xterms with the -names argument.

How can I maintain my xterm config between different -names?

Use the class XTerm instead of the name xterm in your resources. This will match all xterms, whatever their name. For example, do not use

xterm*VT100.geometry:+250+2

but do use

XTerm*VT100.geometry:+250+2
