Sure, I'm Cc:ing it there.
To those of us who are just joining in, here's the scoop:
The XFree86 sources as shipped use ~/.Xresources as the default
place for user X resources. Every other Unix in the world uses
the file ~/.Xdefaults. I think we should support both by
default, not just ~/.Xresources.

I actually meant we should test if Xresources exists, and use that
if so, and then if Xresources didn't exist, try Xdefaults.
That'd be pretty safe and easy to implement.
