[ba.windows.x] prob with some resources in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/<class> file

chapman@lll-lcc.UUCP (Carol Chapman) (10/26/89)

I've been trying to take as many resources as possible out of my code
and put them into /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/<class>.  Some resources
such as 

Fatrad*Label*borderWidth:   0

seem to work fine, but some of the resources for positioning within an
Athena form widget appear to be ignored.  For example,

Fatrad*colorbar_label.fromHoriz:      NULL                      and/or
Fatrad*colorbar_label.horizDistance:     5

are ignored.  I'm having similar problems with Athena text widget
resources, although I have not yet been able to verify if this is
related to one particular text resource such as textOptions, or if it
is related to all text resources.

Am I doing something wrong, or are there limits as to which resources
can be listed in an app-defaults file?

thanks,
carol
