As a more general question, should Debian (xbase or whatever) set something like that as default? I mean, Debian puts /usr/local/bin in the PATH, and /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, so why not local app-defaults too? -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] In memory of Telonir-V, choked on a hill giant corpse in The Dungeons of Doom on level 20.

Local X application defaults
Where should I put the app-defaults files of locally installed (non-Debian, in /usr/local/) X applications? Thus far I've just put them in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/, even though /usr/doc/xbase/debian.README says I shouldn't do that... (I don't really want to cat them all to the end of /etc/X11/Xresources, since some are quite big and it's tedious to remove stuff from it. And I don't want to create custom Debian packages for every nonstandard X application I install, just to get `legal' app-defaults.) Is there a Debian-specific place for them? Can X be set to read app-defaults files in /usr/local/X11/app-defaults/ (or whatever) in addition to the normal directory? -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
