Re: Shouldn't go app-defaults in /etc/X11?

For those who would like to specify their own application resource files, 
you can set the environment variables 
	XFILESEARCHPATH (system wide defaults) and 
	XUSERFILESEARCHPATH (per user defaults)
in the startup scripts. For more info, look at X(1). To me, this looks like the
`politically correct' way to provide per site X default files.

BTW, I got this and other useful X tricks from the book
	`X user tools' by L. Mui and V. Quercia, pub. by O'Reilly
