I've just sent a patch
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnomecc-list/2005-October/msg00024.html)
for using -nocpp where possible.

I was also trying to run the other xrdb command (which reads
~/.Xresources and all other appropriate files) in a 10/15 seconds
timeout, but since you say we need to run it before any motif app is
started (which can be started as part of the session, so we need to run
xrdb ASAP).

Anyway, gdm already runs xrdb with the user's .Xresources and other
system-wide files, from what I have seen. So, maybe we don't need that
other xrdb command?
