Yep, and then you have to go hack up Xt or do what I did, and copy
the app-defaults into /usr/local, since I modify these anyway (and I
hate to loose those changes too) that was the route I choose.

I think this is probably something we should take up with the
XFree86/Xconsortium folks. It is rather painful to not have the
same flexibility we do with the OS in XFree86.
