> Why not use $HOME/.Xresources? I need to set some system-wide resources. For example, some users log in from a Windows machine using Xwin32, but the default font for emacs is not available in Xwin32, so emacs won't start. The solution is to just set the font to something simple like "emacs*font: 6x13". Of course users could set their own .Xresources or start emacs with the -font flag, but lots of users don't read instructions. On the other hand, I don't want to just dump a .Xresources file into every home directory, because some users *do* use this file for their own purposes and they won't be happy if I overwrite their carefully-crafted preferences.
