The application defaults file doesn't need to be preloaded, but it
*does* need to be somewhere that X can find it. It looks like you've
put X stuff in /usr/local without bothering to tell X to look for it
there. Assuming your standard X stuff is in /usr/X11R5, you need to do
something like:
XFILESEARCHPATH="\
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:\
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:\
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:\
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:\
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:\
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/%T/%N%S:\
/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:\
/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:\
/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:\
/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:\
/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:\
/usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/%T/%N%S"
export XFILESEARCHPATH
