     NAME
          dtresourcesfile - format and location of desktop resource
          files

     DESCRIPTION
          The desktop default resources can be found in
          /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources.  These resources will be
          made available to each user's session via the
          RESOURCE_MANAGER property.  This file should not be edited
          as it will be unconditionally overwritten upon subsequent
          desktop installations.

          A system administrator may augment the system default
          resources by creating /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources.
          In this file, a system administrator may override system
          default resources or specify additional resources.  As this
          file is merged into the desktop default resources during
          session startup, it is preferrable that only new or updated
          resource specifications be placed in this file, rather than
          a copy being made of the desktop default resource file.
          Resources specified in this file will be made available to
          each user's session via the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
          Resources specified in this file take precedence over those
          specified in the desktop default resource file.

          A user may augment the desktop default and system
          administrator resources via their $HOME/.Xdefaults file.
          Resources specified in this file will be made available to
          only that user's session via the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
          Resources specified in this file take precedence over those
          specified in the desktop default or system administrator
          resource files.

          NOTE : The X Toolkit Intrinsics specifies that it will load
          resources for an application from either RESOURCE_MANAGER or
          from $HOME/.Xdefaults, but not both.  Ordinarily, this would
          mean that the user's $HOME/.Xdefaults file would be ignored.
          However, the session manager accomodates $HOME/.Xdefaults by
          merging it into the RESOURCE_MANAGER at session startup as
          described above.  If a user changes the $HOME/.Xdefaults,
          the changes will not be visible to new applications until
          the user invokes the ReloadResources action.

          The ReloadResources action will instruct the session manager
          to reload the RESOURCE_MANAGER with the system, system
          administrator and user specified resources.  This is useful
          to make available to new applications changes made to system
          administrator or user specified resource files.

     FILE FORMAT
          The desktop resource files use X resource syntax.  See X(1)
          for the precise syntax.
