Class Name for .Xdefaults

Jake Colman writes: Yes, for 21.4. That will not change. Current 21.5 (since b21) will not recognize class Emacs unless you jump through hoops (set USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS in the environment to something non-null before starting XEmacs). I gather from the "X Resources" node in the "XEmacs User Guide" that Aidan or maybe Mike thinks this behavior should go away sometime, but (a) I consider it harmless and will drag my heels :-) and (b) people are conservative enough about that kind of thing anyway. I don't think there's any point in refusing to recognize .Xdefaults itself, but you should be aware that X.org says (for oh, about a decade now :-) that you should be using .Xresources and xrdb to manage resources. I don't think it matters what X people say, because looking for .Xdefaults is hard-coded into XEmacs IIRC (ie, not inherited from Xt), but as Wavy Gravy said about the brown blotter at Woodstock, "you should be aware there's a warning out on that one, OK?" _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
