OT re: .Xdefaults and/or Xresources.

Hi;

Today Robert D. Crawford replied to the "fullscreen does not work
thread".  He suggested some changes to the .Xdefault file.  My OT
question is, where or how can I find a doc file that gives me a list of
all the changes that can be made to emacs through the .Xdefaults and/or
Xresources file.  I have read how to use the proper syntax in info, but
I have had to cut and paste and adlib for any changes I've made.

I know I am just have the wrong search criteria, wrong name or can't
find the right Xwindows manual.  But there it is.

Can someone tell me where to find a list of the items that can be
changed and their parameters for .Xdefaults without rummaging around
through the entire Xwindows library?

	C-h i m Emacs RET

Then you have the option to choose from:

* Display X::           Changing the default display and using remote  
login.
* Font X::	        Choosing a font for text, under X.
* Colors X::	        Choosing colors, under X.
* Window Size X::       Start-up window size, under X.
* Borders X::	        Internal and external borders, under X.
* Title X::             Specifying the initial frame's title.
* Icons X::             Choosing what sort of icon to use, under X.
* Resources X::         Advanced use of classes and resources, under X.
* Lucid Resources::     X resources for Lucid menus.
* LessTif Resources::   X resources for LessTif and Motif menus.


Some examples form my ~/.Xdefaults:

Emacs*geometry:                 97x53+111+11
Emacs*Title:                    "Pete's Latschen"
Emacs*Background:               AliceBlue
Emacs*Foreground:               Black
Emacs.dialog*.background:       RosyBrown
Emacs.dialog*.foreground:       MediumSpringGreen
Emacs.dialog*.borderWidth:      4
Emacs.mode-line.attributeForeground:    yellow
Emacs.mode-line.attributeBackground:    midnightblue


The chapter on X resources can be improved.
