X want to find things (like app-defaults) in /usr/lib/X11. This can be changed at compile time, but (as far as I know) it can't be changed at run time. It would be trivial to add a XLIBDIR environment variable that could also be set to /usr/X11/lib. If fact, the best thing would be to have a XLIBDIRPATH, that could be set to a number of directories (separated by colons). There is an environment variable XFILESEARCHPATH. Set it to XLIBDIR/%T/%N%S and it does the trick. - tot -- Teemu Torma Front End Oy, Espoo, Finland Internet: tot@frend.fi
