That's what i've been using for ages now (backslashified for clarity): j@uriah 129% printenv XAPPLRESDIR /home/joerg/app-defaults/%N%C:/home/joerg/app-defaults/%N:\ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N:\ /usr/X386/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C:/usr/X386/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N Unfortunately, it's already very lengthy, but still doesn't account for internationalized app-defaults. At least, it allows me to pick an app-defaults file from the system location, throw it into my ~/app-defaults, and edit it there. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
