looks like you have a bogus blank resource specified somewhere, or you've found a bug
in Xvnc.
In either case, here's a patch to make xemacs still start up.
2000-06-11 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org>
* faces.el ((featurep 'xpm)):
* x-faces.el (x-init-face-from-resources):
* x-faces.el (x-init-frame-faces):
* x-misc.el (x-init-specifier-from-resources):
* x-misc.el (x-get-resource-and-bogosity-check):
* x-misc.el (x-get-resource-and-maybe-bogosity-check):
* x-mouse.el (x-init-pointer-shape):
* x-scrollbar.el (x-init-scrollbar-from-resources):
Add sixth argument to x-get-resource calls so as to issue warnings
rather than errors on bogus arguments.

In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write
as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me
mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding.
