I have not checked the 4.0.1 source tree yet, so please let me know
if this has been solved.
There are some "app-defaults" directory specific to Languages.
My package of xcalendar-i18n has two separate resource settings
for ja_JP.ujis and ko_KR.eucKR as well as the main app-defaults.
$ dpkg -L xcalendar-i18n|grep app-defaults
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.ujis/app-defaults
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.ujis/app-defaults/XCalendar
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ko_KR.eucKR/app-defaults
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ko_KR.eucKR/app-defaults/XCalendar
as specified as
By default the imake variable ProjectRoot is /usr/X11R6.4 and
XFILESEARCHPATH has these components:
$ProjectRoot/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S
$ProjectRoot/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S
$ProjectRoot/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S
$ProjectRoot/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S
$ProjectRoot/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S
$ProjectRoot/lib/X11/%T/%N%S
in xc/RELNOTES.TXT.
These files are used to select the strings for menus and labels
which are shown in the native language for Japanese and Korean
in addition with the default English messages.

Can this handle the directories /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$LOCALE/app-defaults ?
As fas as I know, xfig also has the specific app-defaults for
ja_JP.ujis and ko_KR.eucKR.
Thanks.
