Szumowski: |I found some "app defaults" files that I wanted to use, so I downloaded |them and moved them to /usr/X11/lib/X11/x-defaults (i also have a |/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults link to this dir). Specifically, the files |were for Xcalc and Ghostview. However, neither app recognizes them. |Is there something else which needs to be enabled? |thanks. (Assuming XFree86), the important X directories are all off /usr/X11R6 instead of /usr/*/X11 as on other platforms. You can create convenience links for them if you want: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 -> /usr/lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/bin -> /usr/bin/X11 In particular, place your system-wide app-default files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. You can override this with $XFILESEARCHPATH, but the packages assume you'll use this directory. If you've already installed the Ghostview package, it should already have put its app-default file there, and Xcalc's should be there too. Randall Hopper rhh@ct.picker.com
