Results of this: A) Ugly fonts in KDE B) .Xdefaults still not working in GNOME since GNOME will set the same resources based on control panel settings. ~/.Xresources-hostname could be added pretty trivially - I've added a note about it to #68257. I don't understand what wouldn't work in just transforming ~/.Xdefaults to ~/.Xresources; they are the same keys in the same format. (And ~/.Xresources is not exactly _new_ - setting resources on the display has been around since the dawn of time.)
