Yes.
I could think about something like:
update-app-defaults [options] basename prg-name
-b base directory for app-defaults file if not /etc/X11 [or another standard directory]
-f force a change
-v be verbose
So it would be called like:
update-app-defaults -b /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults \
Fig X-Fig
Joy, can you provide this kind of thing and discuss with Branden
to include it in the next XFree packages?
