    I did a little lookin, and came up with this (From the X(1) man page).
If you set the environment variable XAPPLRESDIR to the name of a 
directory (just one) it will search that directory in addition to 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults.
    IE if XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/ was set, it would 
search in that dir. (note the final / is neccessary)

Ya learn something new every day.. Now I can clean out my X11R6 tree 
again.

Until next time,
