Is there a way to stop gnome-settings-daemon from loading up a pile of
widget and application (Editres, Emacs, Xfi) X resources and causing
emacs to not use the color settings I want?

I saw Greg's message on the 6th about gtk themes, but since I haven't
played around with gtk themes so far, it doesn't help me a whole lot.

% man gtk
No manual entry for gtk
% man -k gtk
gtk: nothing appropriate
% man -k theme
theme: nothing appropriate
% man -k gnome
gnome: nothing appropriate
%

I did find a way to work around it for the moment:

  alias activation-client echo

... but is gnome-settings-daemon going to get fired up randomly by
some Gnome application I might run, and trash my resources then?
