Hi I'm using gnu emacs version 22.1.1 and I'm trying to uncheck some
face attributes from my .Xresources file. I know how to do it from
the .emacs file but I would really like to do it from the .Xresouces
file.
For example . . .
I can set the background color of the region highlight like this:
Emacs.region*attributesBackground: black
But how do I remove the attribute? I tried:
Emacs.region*attributesBackground: nil
Emacs.region*attributesBackground: off
Emacs.region*attributesBackground: false
But the result are the same. The background value is set to either
nil, off or false.
How do I unset/uncheck the value from the .Xresources file?

In the file you can use ``!´´ as comment.
On the command line try:
xrdb -merge <RET>
<your change> <RET>
C-d
There is also an entry in the Options menu ...

I think you misunderstand my problem.
If an attribute is set by default in emacs then how do I unset this
attribute from by using the .Xresources file. I know how to change the
attribute but I dont know how to "remove" it.

I don't think you can - at least not in the sense you are wanting.
For example, the region highlighting could be 'turned off' by setting
the foreground/background attributes to the same as the default face
attributes. This won't always work of course as different faces have
different fore/backgrounds.
I don't believe you can turn things off unless there is a specific X
resource attribute defined to do this.
Note that the highlighted region stuff you used as an example is called
transient mark mode and this can be turned off in your .emacs. Don't
know if there is an X resource to do this, if there isn't, I don't
think you can do it from .Xresources.

You can set it to `unspecified'. Is that what you want?
