=>Thanks a lot!! This is very useful -- I guess the next question is: what if

=>Best wishes!
Whatta great question.
1) Sysadm sets the global env var XFILESEARCHPATH. Mine is:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N%C:/usr/share/texmf/xdvi/%N%C
Note the use of %N%C
The %N is the class name of the client. (In the case of emacs, the class
name is Emacs.)
The %C is your customization resource. Mine is set in my .Xresources:
*customization: -color
*StringConversionWarnings: on
The .Xresources file is loaded at startup via the .xinitrc file:
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources 2> /dev/null &
2) The user sets the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH variable as his set of local
overrides. Here's mine:
/home/steveo/.app-defaults/%N%C
Then in that directory is my personal Emacs-color which contains the
following font resources:
Emacs*font: 6x10
Emacs.font-lock-function-name-face.attributeBold: true
Emacs.pane.menubar*fontList:6x10
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.fontList:6x10
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.labelFontList:6x10
Emacs*secondary-selection*attributeFont: 6x10
Emacs*menubar*font: -bitstream-charter-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs*menu.popup*font: -bitstream-charter-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs*Font.paneFont: -bitstream-charter-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs*Font.selectionFont: -bitstream-charter-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Isn't that clear?
