perhaps richard was too subtle.  there is no `one place' where these things
are set.  some window managers ignore the xrdb in favor of something of
their own, others just pay no attention to anything but their compiled
settings or when you are lucky command line arguments.  and every
application has the same choices.  it's a wilderness, and it's getting
worse.
