	I too have noticed that a specification in the UIL file seems
to have the same effect as doing an XtSetValues() in the code, i.e.,
overriding anything in the resource database, Xdefaults, etc. What I
did was to specify the absolute minimum of resources in the UIL file,
mostly having to do with the interface geometry like form attachments,
and moved the rest to an application defaults file.
