While installing GNU Emacs 18.56 on an Iris running Irix 3.3.1 (using
the X libraries which come with the OS), I couldn't figure out why X
emacs was always "plain" (ie., not like I had it set in my
.Xdefaults).  I had remembered reading an article in comp.sys.sgi
about arguments to XGetDefault being reversed, but had discarded it.
I greped for it in the sources and found some code #ifdef'd for
XBACKWARDS in x11fns.c, but XBACKWARDS didn't get defined anywhere.  I
defined it in s-irix3-3, but it didn't help.  After examining all the
occurrances of XGetDefault I finally figured out that a similar
modification needed to be added to x11term.c, so here it is for the
world to enjoy.  Just save everything after my signature and run it
through patch in your emacs-18.56/src directory.  Please forgive me if
my patch is reversed, but everything seems backwards lately :-)
