Title:
  XResources didn't handle #define well

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I recently copied some Solarized XResources into my ~/.Xresources
  file. I tested with usual xrdb -merge while testing until I was happy.
  Several days later I rebooted into the April 1 packages and had some
  error messages:

  $ urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base0', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base02', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_red', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_green', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_yellow', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_blue', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_magenta', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_cyan', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base2', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base03', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_orange', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base01', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base00', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base0', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_violet', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base1', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base3', using pink instead.
  urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base1', using pink instead.

  
  To reproduce, you can add just the following lines to your ~/.Xresources:

  #define S_base0 #839496
  URxvt*foreground: S_base0

  Restart Unity. Start a urxvt and watch the standard error of the
  terminal you used to start urxvt. Note the horrible pink.

  Run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources and then start another urxvt. Note no
  errors and no horrible pink.

  Somehow, the Unity-started mechanism for reading the Xresources didn't
  properly handle the #define statements. Perhaps Unity accidentally
  used the -nocpp option to xrdb?
