The words "default ... that widgets will look for" and "not by
using the resource manager" don't go together at all.  One way
or another, the resource database has to be involved.  If you
really want to make calls, you can use the Xrm routines in
Xlib to modify the resource database before loading "non-defaults"
and creating widgets.  In R4, the routine XtAppSetFallbackResources
might help you with whatever it is you're trying to do.

What window manager are you using?  Most will ignore properties
on override_redirect windows.
