For your understanding:
Most X clients use the RESOURCE_MANAGER and SCREEN_RESOURCES properties
to get user preferences about color, fonts, and so on for applications.
Having this information in the server (where it is available to all
clients) instead of on disk, solves the problem in previous versions of
X that required you to maintain defaults files on every machine that
you might use. It also allows for dynamic changing of defaults without
editing files.
The RESOURCE_MANAGER property is used for resources that apply to all
screens of the display. The SCREEN_RESOURCES property on each screen
specifies additional (or overriding) resources to be used for that
screen. (When there is only one screen, SCREEN_RESOURCES is normally
not used, all resources are just placed in the RESOURCE_MANAGER prop‐
erty.)
X Window System is network system. Do not assume that each client has
same size of monitor and that your Emacs will look same on every
client.
If user does not understand why to use X resources, and assumes to be
single user, then don't use it.
