|I take it that you are asking for a simple XGetDefault-like interface to

|non-Xt Xlib clients.

You have the right idea, but in my case the only reason the application
is linking Xlib is for the resource manager routines.

I have started to do this.  When I'm done, I should have a "resource
manager" library totally separate from X.
