- I'm beginning to find this very annoying - I'd like to maintain separate
- copies of the application defaults for aixterm and the MIT xterm in
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults, but I'm finding that this is not possible.
-
- Instead, IBM seems to have aixterm looking at
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm rather than using AIXTerm as I might expect.
-
- And it's doubly annoying because in the .Xdefaults, aixterm looks for
- resource entries beginning with 'aixterm' by default.
-
- Anyway, the reason that would like to have separate AIXTerm and XTerm
- defaults files is that the MIT Xterm is receiving more use here and I'd like to
- establish a system global default rather than editing individual .Xdefault's or
- telling them how to edit the resource entries for xterm (they shouldn't
- necessarily have to do that).
-
- Is there someway to have aixterm use a different application defaults file
- located in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults???
