On a sidennote: I use the cvs-version of emacs and my .Xdefaults are not ignored
_unless_ I call emacs as emacs-21.3.50. If I do that _all_ .Xdefaults, also the
ones in /etc/ are ignored.

Alsa pay attention to the faact if you use *dm or not; if you use *dm
/etc/X11/Xresources and Xmodmap are also loaded. If you use startx then they
won't get used.

When called as 'emacs', /etc/X11/app-defaults/Emacs overrides values written in
$HOME/.Xdefaults. I think values in $HOME should override the defaults.

Workarounds:

- call emacs as 'emacs-21.3'
- call emacs with a different name argument like 'emacs -name "GNU Emacs"'
