In Debian Linux, do files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ get read or not?
The Debian FAQ says: Debian's X11 installation expects you to leave the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ unchanged. If you want to customise X applications globally, put your customizations in /etc/X11/Xresources. This file is marked as a configuration file, so its contents will be preserved during upgrades. That doesn't quite answer my question. (For example, do .../app-defaults/ files apply if there is no corresponding file in .../Xresources/? If there is such a corresponding file, does nothing in the .../app-defaults/ apply, or does everything apply except for things overridden in the file in .../Xresources/?
