If you start under X, won't you get X resources globally for that kind
of thing (menubar strings), regardless of which platform the frame is
on? Or does that depend on how the resources for the frame get
initialized? Some of the relevant variables are globals (or
specifiers, whose default could be set up to act like a global for
strings in menu items, etc), aren't they?
If not, then wouldn't it be possible for your XEmacs to pick up X
resources for X frames and Windows resources for Windows frames, and
if it was a global variable being set, this could change X settings
simply because you opened a Windows frame or vice versa?
That would be really evil.
