#I'm suddenly into XLIB programming. I'm getting a simple 
#graph out, but I would like to control the size of the window
#by a statement like *Xlib*Geometry: 300x300+0+0 in my
#.Xdefaults file . I would like this to override the WIDTH and
#HEIGHT values I supply in the XCreateSimpleWindow call, but this
#is not happening when I print out the values of width, height
#returned by XGetGeometry. Instead the values returned are what
#I specify in my XCreateSimpleWindow call. What do I need to do
#to have the window size specified in the .Xdefaults file
#override that in the program.  I don't think there is a
#mistake in my .Xdefaults file, the name of the application is
#Xlib as specified in a call to XSetStandardProperties. I'm 
#using Openwindows 3. THANKS.

This is becauses resouces are NOT automatically handled for you at the
Xlib level.  Resouces where basically developed for use with Xt based 
applications but the routines where moved into the Xlib to help with
some problems with the error database.  You will need to explicitly 
call the Xrm routines yourself to access these values.
