    Now, xman can't find the application defaults directory.
    Even with the XAPPLRESDIR variable set.

XAPPLRESDIR won't solve this problem (it's a long story, you can read the
Xt spec if you really want to know).  You need to set XFILESEARCHPATH to get
around it:

setenv XFILESEARCHPATH "<root>/%L/%T/%N%S:<root>/%l/%T/%N%S:<root>/X11/%T/%N%S"

But, a better fix is to whack lib/Xt/IntrinsicI.h to set XFILESEARCHPATHDEFAULT
and ERRORDB to the right place, and then rebuild.  (The right fix is to have
this properly controlled in the Imakefile, based on the configuration
parameters.)
