    According to Doug Young, in his "X Window Systems Programming and 
    Applications with Xt" book (p. 50), when XtInitialize() is called,

    that resource is obtained from the user's .Xdefaults file in 
    his/her home directory.

the .Xdefaults file is used instead.  My guess is that the property is
set.  What you may want to do is set your XENVIRONMENT variable to point
at your .Xdefaults file (or rename the file to be .Xdefaults-<host>.
