From: Ron Newman <rnewman@media.mit.edu>

if XFILESEARCHPATH is set to point only to /mit/sipb/lib/%T/%N,
then any X program that Mosaic spawns will not find its
app-defaults in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults, because that
directory won't be in the XFILESEARCHPATH.

The Mosaic shell script should be changed to read:

if ($?XFILESEARCHPATH) then
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH ${XFILESEARCHPATH}:/mit/sipb/lib/%T/%N%S
else
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%S:/mit/sipb/lib/%T/%N%S
