- For a while I had two versions of xrn installed, with one app-defaults
- file in /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults and the other in
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. The openwin script commonly used to start
- OpenWindows sets the environment variable XFILESEARCHPATH to
- /$OPENWINHOME/lib/%T/%N%S. I put logic in my .xinitrc to set it to
- /usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%S, which solved my problem without causing new
- problems for some other users.
