Actually, since the per user solution is so easy, a simple note in the
lines of
"New in GNOME 2.4:
GNOME now sets X resources for non-GNOME applications to follow the
same look and feel of GNOME as far as possible. The default Xresources
files are located at /usr/share/control-center-2.0/xrdb . Files in
~/.gnome2/xrdb/ directory override the default Xresources on a per-user
basis."
somewhere in the documentation (be it README.Debian, or somewhere else)
should be sufficient. If it is already there, please forgive my
ignorance (and I would appreaciate a pointer to it).
Best regards,
Jaume
