I was right about .Xresources that it is one of the files used for loading
settings into the X server, but urxvt looks at .Xdefaults instead.
It is a bit strange. Applications should not read these files directly.
Content should be loaded during X session startup, see
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources
After modification of .Xresources it is necessary to invoke xrdb(1).
Per-application files are in /etc/X11/app-defaults/
Good old urxvt is quite lightweight compared to kitty.
I am unsure concerning real degree of danger, just a warning:

Additionally some terminals support C1 controls in UTF-8 encoded text,
which per this 2015 posting to oss-security is problematic. Some
terminals have the ability to turn this off, if they do not such as
Kitty I cannot recommend their use.
