This sounds very odd. It should load ~/.emacs at the least. If it
were me I would put a message in the file to verify this. Right at
the top I would put this.
(message "[reading file ~/.emacs]") ; -*-emacs-lisp-*-

Exactly how are you starting emacs? I assume by what you say that you
are using the X graphical version and not the terminal version. Have
you tried starting it from a command line prompt? Does it report any
errors to the terminal?

This doesn't actually follow. The ~/.Xresources is not actually read
by any X application. Instead the window manager uses 'xrdb' to load
the contents into the X resource database. X programs then
subsequently query that database. You can ump the database with:
xrdb -q
Perhaps in one case versus the other your DE isn't loading the file?
Or perhaps the "name" is being changed and therefore not matching the
stored resource names?
