Currently, xrdb only sets the XA_RESOURCE_MANAGER property on screen 0 of
the display.  This seems like a mistake.  Different screens may have very
different characteristics (e.g. color vs. black and white) and thus need
different resource defaults.

Is there any way to handle this correctly in the current X ?  Are changes
planned for the future ?

The "Resource Manager Convensions" section of the ICCCM version 1.0
document leaves quite a bit to the imagination (:-)
