The manual pages for the various X applications will usually have quite a bit of information about what you can set in ~/.Xdefaults -- look for the section labelled 'RESOURCES'. Another place to look is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, where you will find the default values for all resources for a range of applications. Note that this functionality is generally only used for X applications based on the Athena widget set or on the Motif libraries. Applications using higher level X environments like Gnome or KDE tend to have alternate mechanisms for doing this sort of thing.
