There should be some file that starts the X session, a file like
~/.xinitrc. One of the statements inside should be
xrdb -merge $userresources
before the first X client is launched, where $userresources could
also be an explicite file name. This way your X resource settings
should be present for all X clients, including GNU Emacs.
If you determine the process ID of an X client that was launched at
startup (xterm, maybe), the could invoke
pstree -w -p <that PID<
and find out how your X session started.
Besides this, are you sure that ``emacs-snapshot-gtk*font´´ is the
right name? For me ``Emacs*font´´ is sufficient ...
