Hello Aaron,

I don't think it's necessary to add ~/.Xdefaults to the X abstraction --
afterall, the file is typically read once at session startup by xrdb(1)
and then never read again -- unless the user runs xrdb -merge by hand.

Maybe ~/.Xresources-<hostname> would make sense -- the X(7) manpage isn't
very clear who is responsible for reading it, whether it is X itself
(seems very unlikely to me) or the X Toolkit Intrinsics that would read
them. But we've gone this long without a bug report, so perhaps this
feature is little used. (Which apps use the X Toolkit Intrinsics these
days, besides xterm and xlsfonts?)

Did you have a denial from a confined application? If so, do you still
have the log messages handy?

Thanks
