Title:
  lightdm-session runs xrdb with -nocpp option

Bug description:
  lightdm-session runs xrdb for .Xresources file with the -nocpp option
  (Line 37 and 43), which prevents the xrdb from preprocessing the
  .Xresources file. Many configurations like the popular solarized color
  theme (https://github.com/solarized/xresources/blob/master/solarized)
  use this and you find some complaints about in on the internet

  http://superuser.com/questions/655857/urxvt-uses-pink-instead-of-solarized-until-i-run-xrdb-xresources/656213

  I don't see a reason for not using the preprocessor and so did the
  editor of Xsession (the option is not used in
  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources)
