setting x resources

setting x resources

[Steve_Kilbane]

this is a X question really, but sam's the application it applies most to.

running sam on solaris 2.3, whenever i run sam locally, the window's size
is defined by /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults/Sam. fine. when i set DISPLAY
and run it remotely, it ignores such settings, and comes up full-size.
is there any way to persuade an X application to use the defaults from the
X server's machine?

The app-defaults stuff is used per client basis, i.e. when you start
a client, it will look at app-defaults for resource hints.   To have
uniform client resource whereever you log on, you need to load those
resource hints into Xserver, this can be done by using 'xrdb -merge Sam'.
look at xrdb man page for details.
