This should be considered an error in the documentation. Since version 4.5 XBoard no longer processes its options via the X-server, but uses its own settings file. As a consequence, none of the Xt options can be used anymore, (other than through .xresources), while none of the other options can be set through .xresources.
So this section of the manual should simple be deleted. 4.7 should not behave any different from its latest predecessors, in this respect.
