Is it kosher for applications to modify the .Xdefaults file ?
If not, is there an accepted mechanism for users to modify their defaults
by some kind of nice, user-friendly window in the application, rather than
having to look up, parse, and understand the appropriate X resources ?
It seems confusing to have geometry specifications in both the .Xdefaults and an
.applrc file

Other question.  Has there been any work in the area of using an ICCCM
selection to initiate a high-bandwidth transaction ?  I'm thinking of a
target atom named SOCKET_ID or something like that. 

Comments ?
