We have a problem with the Workspace Properties option in the workspace
menu under OpenWindows 2.0.  When you apply changes, your .Xdefaults file
is overwritten with the entire contents of the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

This is a problem in our environment since user's typically have many
more resources loaded in RESOURCE_MANAGER than what is in their .Xdefaults
file and we don't want those other resources in .Xdefaults.

Do others feel this is a problem?
Any suggested workarounds?
Any possibility SUN may change this in the future?
