Sorry about the indentation, supercite gets seriously confused.... -BP> Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; writes: Short answer: yes.

An alternative solution is one I mentioned earlier: replicating XEmacs.ad with the name for all resources set to "vanilla". In fact, this might be a good thing to provide in general. Then xemacs -vanilla could be taught to set the application name to "vanilla", too. This would rid of us of confusion via user's resource settings as well as the .emacs, etc. in debugging, all in one shot. The only problem I can see is that there may be resources that are not mentioned in XEmacs.ad. Of course, XEmacs.ad doubles in length.... Agh! Code bloat! :-) And, of course, the maintainers need to specify exactly what would be most useful as a vanilla XEmacs. This is mostly done, of course, but with something as weird as X resources it's probably worth pausing for thought. And what's already in XEmacs.ad may not be best. (Allowing for the possibility that "best" != "any constant baseline will do".)
