	I seem to be having a problem with the old resource manager in
the distribution for X11.  I am running the standard clients like
xterm and xclock, and they don't seem to respond to the parameters set
in my .Xdefaults file.
	I looked at the source for xclock, and added a little
XrmPutDataBase after the XrmGetDataBase so I could look at what was
getting read in.  This is my .Xdefaults file:

Xclock.ReverseVideo:on
Xclock.ReverseVideo:on
XClock.ReverseVideo:on
xclock.Mode:    digital

this is what the XrmPutDataBase from xclock puts out:

Xclock.Xclock:  on
XClock.XClock:  on
xclock.xclock:  digital

Keep in mind tha xclock uses the oldXrm calls.  I have applied all 80
patches.  The various combinations of caps is because I thought at
first my problem might be that I wasn't getting the program name
right.  Any ideas out there?  This seems pretty basic for general
users of X11 as simply a window environment - is anyone else having
trouble with their .Xdefaults???
