Problem with X resources on upgrade to RH-7.3/KDE-3.0.0-5

[Steven W. Orr]

This is complicated to explain, but please bear with me.

I just upgraded from RH-7.2 to 7.3. My problem is that, for some reason, 
my backspace key no longer works in pine (as well as other problems). 
Here's my setup:

I have a correct value set for my XFILESEARCHPATH and my 
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH variables. In my $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH I have a file 
called XTerm-color and in my .xinitrc I have this one line

xrdb -load ~/.Xresources 2> /dev/null &

My .Xresources simply sez:
*customization: -color
*StringConversionWarnings: on

* In my XTerm-color I have (among other things)
*VT100*backarrowKey: true
*VT100.geometry:     80x72

For some reason, now when I start an xterm, it comes up with 24 lines 
instead of the desired 80 and the backarrow key no longer works in pine. 
Instead I have to use the ^H key. In fact all of the resource setting I 
specify no longer seem to work. The odd thing is that the resources seem 
to work fine in gnome. Under KDE, the behavior seems to be broken. I know 
there used to be a setting someplace that said something about how 
resources should be controlled by kde for non-kde apps. 

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

TIA
