- The imake config files that come with SLS want to put the app-defaults
- file and the help file in some strange and wrong place: something
- like /usr/lib/X11/<some-shared-lib-path>/X11/app-defaults. This is
- wrong, and it's probably what's responsible for all the reports
- of seyon coming up without app-defaults. The two files below
- must be reachable via the paths below: they may really be
- in /usr/X386/... or wherever but you have to be able to get at
- them as follows:
-
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Seyon
- /usr/lib/X11/seyon.help
-
- I haven't yet looked to see why it comes up with the bogus path.
