I think there is some stuff about limitations re Xdefaults in the
NEWS/PROBLEMS files with respect to lesstiff. Might be worth checking
it out - there is certainly some stuff about lesstiff there and if
thats what you have built against, it might save you some time trying
to do stuff which just won't work because of lesstiff limitations. 

While I have been able to find all the X resources for emacs 21 I
wanted, I do have to admit it was not striaght-forward finding it. A
great majority of it was in the emacs manual/info pages, but the less
common X resources were only found after doing greps of the
NEWS/PROBLEMS/FAQ files - I guess this is just the never ending
problem of trying to keep the sources and documentation in sync, which
is probably especially hard with a major new release like emacs 21.
