    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,
