Bug#247766: Question about X-Resources



Hi,

Hilmar Preusse <hille42@web.de> (28/11/2010):
> The maintainer of xdvi argued that this behavior would be correct:

sure, I can quote the X(7) manpage for you:
       A  resource  database  never  contains  more than one entry for a given
       ResourceName.  If a resource file contains multiple lines with the same
       ResourceName, the last line in the file is used.

Mraw,
KiBi.
