Just like xterm. We could add a `-class' option to XEmacs which would allow you to do: xemacs -class NoSuchClass -name NoSuchName and get a vanilla xemacs. What I do to get a vanilla xemacs with no Martin-specific X resources is: xemacs="$1" shift unset XFILESEARCHPATH EMACSLOADPATH exec env \ XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=$HOME/luser \ XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/luser \ XENVIRONMENT=/dev/null \ HOME=$HOME/luser \ "${xemacs}" "$＠" Martin
