VT100 is the class name for the vt100 widget which is under the XTerm window. > *VT100*background: xtermbg The asterisks tell Xt to apply that to anything with an application name "background" anywhere under anything with a class name of VT100. One could have an application with multiple levels containing the same class name. If you know the actual hierarchy, a "." works better since it is more specific, and overrides a wildcard in the same position which might be set in the system's app-defaults file (or by xrdb). Most use of xrdb is misguided (but it does reduce the amount of work the desktop people do ;-) -- Thomas E.
