I have been told (but have not verified) that some desktops have
started ignoring .Xdefaults in favor of .Xresources. If you rename
.Xdefaults to .Xresources, does it work?
Well I have also xemacs 21.4.19 installed in it reads the .Xdefaults
file without problems. I copies the file nevertheless to .Xresources
(I am not sure whether I should run xrb or something like this) but
xemacs21.5.28 continues ignoring the setting.

The problem you are seeing is that the resource class has changed from
"Emacs" to "XEmacs". Set the environment variable
USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS to any value to imitate the old
behavior.

Well I have also xemacs 21.4.19 installed in it reads the .Xdefaults
file without problems. I copies the file nevertheless to .Xresources
(I am not sure whether I should run xrb or something like this) but
xemacs21.5.28 continues ignoring the setting.
From etc/NEWS:
** "XEmacs" used as X11 application class
Previously, XEmacs checked the X11 resource database for resources starting
with XEmacs, and used "XEmacs" as its application class if any existed;
otherwise it used "Emacs", for backward compatibility. Because of
divergence between the resources that GNU Emacs and XEmacs use, we've
changed this. If you don't have the time to migrate your resource DB right
now, set USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS in your environment before
starting XEmacs, for the old behavior. This workaround will go away in the
course of the next major release, though, so you will have to migrate your
resources at some point.

All right, one has to read the *news*. However an innocent question if
you don't mind.
How is USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS that supposed to be set
say in a .tcshrc or .login?

No, we don't. Aidan was just providing the whole NEWS for you. The
phrasing means that if USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS
is present in the environemnt (with any value, even empty) the option
is set.

I forget my csh, but in sh it's just
# value doesn't matter, "Jawohl" or (perversely) "NoThanks" works
too
USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS=YesPlease
export USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS
I think in csh it would be
setenv USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS YesPlease

There's one "DEFAULT_" too many in the above, the variable is currently
USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS
And BTW, that already monstrous name does not contain any hints about what
software it affects. Make it USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_XEMACS_APPLICATION_CLASS?

Er, it's not April for another 10 weeks, ok? :-)
I always thought that should have the syntax
export XEMACS_APPLICATION_CLASS=XEmacs
anyway....

Blame Mike Sperber for that. My first patch had BRANDING_IS_FOR_THE_INSECURE.
