Running the beta R4 release, I can't figure out any way to have
different preferences depending on environment variables such as
DISPLAY.  The problem is that I now run X on a color Sun4 with a big
screen in my office, and a smaller black and white GraphOn X terminal at
home.  In each case, the processes are running on my office workstation,
so that the "C=" and "M=" syntax for preferences is not useful.  Is
there any way to make my color and geometry preferences easily differ
depending on whether I'm using my home or office display?  Thanks.  --
