what about localisation of app-default, I see XEarth ships with

# ls /etc/X11/*/app-defaults/XEarth
/etc/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults/XEarth
/etc/X11/ko_KR.eucKR/app-defaults/XEarth

I would prefer /etc/X11/app-defaults/locale/Class as man is doing.

Well, traditional X11 handling requires the location of
  XLIBDIR(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 for potato)/locale/app-defaults/,
so the new location /etc/X11/locale/app-defaults/ is just following
that traditional way.

And this behavior has already submitted as the patch by M. Ishikawa,
and Branden kindly used it months ago.

I can't get what is the merit of your proposal, but maybe this should
be decided at the upstream level (i.e., xfree86 in this case, or TOG)
I think.

Regards.

  Yes.  They need to move their app-defaults files.
  
   What should I do?
  
  File bugs against packages that use /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults.

 Whee, (#bugs++)^2.. it seems that these 108 packages have such a
 directory:

It seems like noone ever sent any bug rapport about this, right? I'm
maintaining xfaces and was traking down some cryptic buggrepport resulted
from this problem, and I would sure have been assisted by such an
repport. 

Is anyone working on sending those repports? or shall I do it myslef?
Thomas?

Please CC any reply to me.

Oh, they generally get filed, it's just that some package maintainers don't
do a damn thing about them[1].
