Epoch will not make use of alternate (xrdb) resources if you change
the name or class of a window.  Epoch checks the resources when it
starts up, and uses those values for all windows.  This means that one
cannot get a new window to use a different font just by changing the
name or class attribute/property on creation (or thereafter).

Is this a bug?  Reading the resources every time a window opens might
be slow, I suppose.  Does it take long to query the Xserver for
name*resources?
