Subject: specifying X resources for properties in IV 2.6

I have a number of resources defined on an object "ErrorHandler" in my 
application.  The application is associated with a world whose name is 
currently called "TestApp".   The class name for the ErrorHandler is
"ErrorHandler".  

--------

I find that if I configure the resource in my .Xdefaults file as 

TestApp*myResource: xyzzy

then the call of GetAttribute("myResource") inside the class initialization 
for the objects of class ErrorHandler works just fine.  The value xyzzy
is retrieved.

---------

But, if I specify the resource more specifically with the class name

TestApp*ErrorHandler*myResource: xyzzy

then GetAttribute("myResource") doesn't find anything.

---------
By all reports this should work.  What's wrong?
Thanks.
