The problem is that I now run X on a color Sun4 with a big screen in my office, and a smaller black and white GraphOn X terminal at home. In each case, the processes are running on my office workstation, so that the "C=" and "M=" syntax for preferences is not useful. Is there any way to make my color and geometry preferences easily differ depending on whether I'm using my home or office display? Thanks. -- Nathaniel
