It's too hard to handle the middle case. IMO, the .Xdefaults and the xrdb are frequently treated as completely seperate namespaces; both must be searched by apps (I *know* Motif searched both). This leads me to a question... if Nate dies run "xrdb -query", and gets back some crap, it may be his XDM that's screwing him up. Is Brian using XDM for login? XDM uses Xaw, right? At this point I'm kind of grasping at straws to try and expain by proxy the differences between Brian and Nate's environments, so it's probably time for them to get together offline and me to quit grasping. 8-(.
