	There is a bug in xresource.c which prevents the command line
from being parsed if a program is run using a leading path. To correct
this problem do:

	In xresource.c move the call to XrmParseCommand() to AFTER the
test of argv[0] for a leading path. 

	In the call to XrmParseCommand(),  replace argv[0] with s;

The code should look like this:

    XrmInitialize();		/* Open X data base routiines */

    /* 
     * Set the command name of the application ..... 
     */
    if((s = rindex(*cp,'/')) != NULL)   /* argv[0] has pathname, strip it */
	s++;
    else
	s = *cp;

    XrmParseCommand(&cmdDB, opTable, opTableEntries, s, &n, args); /* Xlib call */


Recompile and relink.
