X11: app-defaults and XF86Config



I think we should move  app-defaults which is under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
to  /etc/X11 because resources files are  configuration files and must
be    protected from upgrades. This   way   /usr/X11R6 can be  mounted
read-only.  One temporary fix could be to add a symlink from to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults to /etc/X11/app-defaults.

Another thing about XF86Config, I think  the sources of XFree86 should
be patched   to look at this  file  under /etc/X11  because if you use
xf86Setup,  you loose your config    as xf86Setup removes or   backups
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config and the symlink is anylonger present.
