As stated before on the list, the defaults are a replacement for X resources. The latter ARE read on X systems when -q/Q is given. I think the reason the behavior is unexpected under NS is that unlike other systems, NS emacs will WRITE into the defaults database (to save user options). The attached patch will therefore cause these resources not to be read, only under NS, if -q/Q is given.
Why save the preferences at all?There is a strong group of people who want Emacs to behave in the same way across systems. Would it really be a good idea if the base Emacs started, from version 23, saving the options at the end, especially since they don't go into `custom-file'.
