No, it isn't. In the old build system, the very last messages of the `configure' script announce very loudly which `app-defaults' will be used, and how the user can change that. Contrary to many other packages, a `/usr/local/X11' hierarchy normally doesn't exist, and only the `/usr/X11' tree gets checked for configuration files. Maybe this has changed recently, but I doubt it. >> and I sticked to this behaviour. > > Seems an opportunity to fix it. I don't object :-) However, *please* ensure that you do the right thing, which might be not easy to achieve. Werner
