Am I correct in assuming that you are supposed to achieve site-wide
defaults by loading resources from some file via xinit or xdm, not by
editing files in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults?  I.e. the app-defaults
files are to be considered part of the corresponding program's source
code, and shouldn't be edited to provide site-wide settings.
