Hello, I'm using FreeBSD 5.1 and came across something today. Say I
wanted to make xterms background by default i could add
XTerm*background: black

go about finding out more options for more programs to place them in
my ~/.Xdefaults file? Thanks.
The manual pages for the various X applications will usually have
quite a bit of information about what you can set in ~/.Xdefaults --
look for the section labelled 'RESOURCES'. Another place to look is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, where you will find the default
values for all resources for a range of applications.
Note that this functionality is generally only used for X applications
based on the Athena widget set or on the Motif libraries.
Applications using higher level X environments like Gnome or KDE tend
to have alternate mechanisms for doing this sort of thing.
Cheers,
Matthew
You may also want to use editres(1) if the app supports the editres
protocol (like xterm does).
