>>> Make the files in /usr/lib/X11 OWNED BY BIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That doesn't seem to do the whole trick either.  I have found
a way to force X to read the defaults file from init.
Why it doesn't read it in ANY other case is beyond me.
Here is what I am using now...

X0:2:respawn:env PATH=/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/bin xinit /bin/sh -c "xrdb -nocpp -load /usr/lib/X11/sys.Xdefaults; /usr/bin/X11/hpterm -L =+2+2 ttyq0 #Xwindow"

(I have a feeling that the resource part of HP's default sys.x11start file
is not all there.  There is a section on xrdb but it never seems to happen.
Could be because I run from csh?)
