@cindex X resources, @file{~/.Xdefaults} file
@cindex X resources, @file{~/.Xresources} file

Do you mean "that the user can include into his machine" or "something

If the second, can I refer to /usr/share/gtk-doc, where the GTK

It must be one line in the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file, so I would like to avoid
changing it.
