Why can't the gods of Xt implement backslash processing for reading the
left-hand side of the resource specifier?  It's not hard, and it was
done for the right-hand side.  Then you could just put \. in the
application name.

A trivial bug and a trivial fix.  Is there a reason it won't appear in
the next release?
