In pcs.freebsd.ports you write: >> still try to open /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. No? Not necessarily >Hmmm. This seems like a half decent first approximation.

If it's just app-defaults then there are standard ways to have a search path for that. There's the environment variables XFILESEARCHPATH, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH and XAPPLRESDIR all of which can be used to find app-defaults files in 'non-standard' places (Do a 'man X' e.g.). How to set them globally is left as an exercise to the reader :-) Michael-- Michael Elbel, Digital-PCS GmbH, Muenchen, Germany - me@FreeBSD.org Fermentation fault (coors dumped)
