My impression is that X applications always have a command-line option
to set the resource class.  E.g. xterm's man page says

       -class string
               This option allows you to override xterm's resource class.
               Normally it is “XTerm”, but can be set to another class such 
as
               “UXTerm” to override selected resources.

               X Toolkit sets the WM_CLASS property using the instance name
               and this class value.

I assume it's so you can set various "profiles" for different resource
class names in .Xresources, so different executables of an application
can see different resource values.
