No, you should be installing the resource in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. Change it there and in the manpage if you wish. The user can make changes to /etc/X11/Xresources. > 2) Make a postinst script to ask the user about it.

That's a more reasonable option. Either way you should install the resource.
