The manual pages for the various X applications will usually have
quite a bit of information about what you can set in ~/.Xdefaults --
look for the section labelled 'RESOURCES'. Another place to look is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, where you will find the default
values for all resources for a range of applications.
Note that this functionality is generally only used for X applications
based on the Athena widget set or on the Motif libraries.
Applications using higher level X environments like Gnome or KDE tend
to have alternate mechanisms for doing this sort of thing.
Cheers,
Matthew
