Is there a good reason why XOpenDisplay retrieves the
XA_RESOURCE_MANAGER property off of screen 0 as opposed to the default
screen and xrdb stores the XA_RESOURCE_MANAGER property on screen 0.
This causes much grief when running multiple screens since you often
want different setups for different screens (for example, on a Sun
3/60FC, you can have a color and a monochrome screen, needless to say,
the defaults for one don't work on the other).

Is this a fundamental X'ism, an oversight (that won't cause future
problems if I fix) or a bug that will be corrected in R3?

Thanks,
