Has anybody ever run an application with *so* many resources (perhaps
based on a "you can configure the shape, text, and color of every single
button" toolkit), and with those resources all set, so that when they
try to set said property, it's so big that their X terminal explodes (or
just runs out of memory :-))?

Or does nothing have that many resources, or are they never all set by
users, or do X terminals just have enough memory that this isn't a
problem?
