There's something wrong with the implementation of the Echinus*border setting.
It works fine as long as you have both Echinus*normal.border and Echinus*selected.border (which define colors) set in echinusrc. But as soon as you drop one of them, things break.
On my Slackware 14.2 system, the X server exits saying:
error, cannot allocate color '1'
1 is the value of Echinus*border in this case. I have also tested this on Devuan 2.0.0. The error message is just e color '1' there, for whatever reason, but the effect is exactly the same.
This error even seems to make sense. If I understand Xresources syntax right, Echinus*border is simply a way to refer to Echinus*normal.border and Echinus*normal.border at the same time because the asterisk acts as a wildcard. So, the solution is probably to rename Echinus*border.
The naming scheme for Echinus' settings should probably be revised a bit in general.
