- After changing an entry in the ".Xdefaults" file how can I get X to
- see the changes? For example, "xterm" does not see a change in a
- color resource until the system is "quit" and restarted. There is
- a note in the "man X" entry that says a number of X applications will
- read "Xdefaults" when they are executed. I have yet to find any applications
- that will read that file. Is there a way to get X to update itself from
- Xdefaults with out shutting down X and restarting it?

- I am running Ultrix 4.1 on a DECstation.
