The scripts that are used to start Xess (/mit/xess/scripts/...) all
set the XENVIRONMENT variable to a file containing app-defaults
for Xess, and the perl versions include the comment:
# If the user has already set this resource, his/her personal settings
# will override these systems defaults, so we don't worry about them.
Unfortunately, this is not true of XENVIRONMENT, which overrides the
user's settings. Instead, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH (which has a slightly
different syntax than XENVIRONMENT) should be used, as it allows
resources in the RESOURCE_MANAGER and SCREEN_RESOURCES properties
(i.e. xrdb-style) to take effect, as well as those in XENVIRONMENT,
and a few other places.
Attached are patches to /mit/xess/scripts to correct this.
Thanks!
