I do too. Especially so as to set the appropriate font for Xterms
with the display size being used.
But Gnome resets the resources at some point near the end of its
startup, and it is very very difficult to tell when it happens.
actually it seems to do it a number of times, not just once!!!!
However once it is completely finished, then it doesn't replace them any
more, and all is fine. It just seems imposible to tell when that
point is reached.
Actually I done what to interfer with gnome that much. Every Linux
installation and upgrade seems to have a very different gnome interface
setup. As it is I have to link the various 'dot' gnome directories
depending on which linux version is currently running. And there is no
way I can use a shared home simultaniously in two different linux
environments. This is a very posible situation in the university
environment I administer.
In fact different 'dot' files for different linux's are becomeing a real
torn in my ass, with the university pressing for more centrallised 'home
management'. The best we can do now is local top level homes, and a
shared automatically mounted (via PAM) 'H' drive. that directory also
being used under window environments. It isn't all figured out yet
though.
