Xt has a concept of "reverseVideo" operation. Under reverseVideo,
the default StringToPixel resource converter swaps pixels
returned for background and foreground.

Now, I need to overload the default resource converter with on
of my own, doing slightly more.
Unfortunatelly, the app-rv value is stored in the application
context, an opaque structure to me. (it is defined in InitialI.h,
but such a header file is not available, for example, on VMS).

Is there any reasonable way to find out what the value of app-rv
(or for that matter, some other fields in app context, such
 as the list of attached display etc.) ?

The only "other" way to find the app-rv value is to inquire the
resource database; however, in my converter I do not have the
information necessary to do it....
