After building an elaborate Xt+ (Open Look) implementation of a client that saves key widget resources, I find myself faces with converting the damm thing to That Other Toolkit (can't bring myself to say the M-word!) The Open Look window manager in this (AT386) implementation provides a defaults management function. In essence, all I have to do is to tell the window manager to merge in the new values and, voila, they appear in the .Xdefaults file. In a more conventional implementation, it would seem that what I should do for per-user settings is to place them in one of the files that the X11R4 resource manager looks at. $HOME/class seems like a reasonable default, as the class has one member. Does this appear to be a reasonable solution? Have I overlooked something? Thanks in advance. Geoff Leach
