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.
