There is no .Xresources nor .Xdefaults file on my home directory. 

/etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common is pretty trivial:

#ifdef COLOR
*customization: -color
#endif

! make Xaw (Athena widget set) clients understand the delete key
! this causes problems with some non-Xaw apps, use with care
! *Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta <Key>Delete: 
delete-next-character()
