In fact, this is what Chris uses in xman to be able to tell the user
that no app-defaults file was found.

But let's get down to the point here. The X/Open catgets catalogues
are only for multilingual text, while app-defaults files are for all
sorts of resources including e.g. border width. So I suppose what you
are trying to say is that we should keep language-dependent files in
one place, specified by the environment variable NLSPATH. We could
achieve this by keeping only language-independent files under
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. But I imagine that the Xt people decided to
put language-dependent files under the app-defaults directory too
because X/Open is not the only standard out there. In AT&T's MNLS, for
example, the internationalized files are under /lib/locale. Somebody
correct me if I'm wrong. What about POSIX? And others?

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that not everyone has catgets().
