Note that the ORDER of these resources is important; because of a
mishandling
of resources in a common routine (dbrooks: in
WmResources.c:_WmGetDynamicDefault)
the background resources should be set first. [They wind up setting
local static
data correctly; if foreground is set first, it chooses incorrect
defaults.]

[Comments apply to Motif 1.0.3.]
