mv ~/.Xdefaults ~/.Xresources

works for me.

It happens it's not a bug.

man Xsession:

       $HOME/.Xresources
              contains X resources specific to the invoking user's environment.  The
              settings are loaded with xrdb -merge.  Note that $HOME/.Xdefaults is a
              relic from X Version 10 (and X11R1) days,  before  app-defaults  files
              were  implemented.   It  has been deprecated for over ten years at the
              time of this writing.  .Xresources should be used instead.
