The default location for
the app-defaults file for the desktop clients is /usr/dt/app-defaults/language. For example,
if LANG
is set to Swedish_locale, then applications will look for their app-defaults
file in /usr/dt/app-defaults/Swedish_locale. If LANG
is not set, language
is ignored, and applications look for their app-defaults
file in /usr/app-defaults/C.
To change the location of app-defaults, use the XFILESEARCHPATH
environment variable. For
example, to move app-defaults to /users,
set XFILESEARCHPATH
to /usr/app-defaults/language/classname.
If you set XFILESEARCHPATH
in HomeDirectory/.dtprofile,
the value applies to all desktop and X clients you run. Nonclients will not
find their resource files unless you link or copy them into the directory
specified by XFILESEARCHPATH
.
