I want those resources used in all frames (initial and subsequent), which is one of the reasons I prefer specifying them in .Xdefaults instead of setting both initial- and default-frame-alist in .emacs. And I don't want the instance name to override frame-title-format. But specifying the X instance name via the --name "foo" command line option only applies the "foo" resources to the initial frame, and sets its title to "foo"; subseqent frames have the selected buffer name as the title (as normal and desired), but don't use the "foo" resources. Specifying the X instance name via the --xrm "Emacs.name: foo" command line option applies the "foo" resources to the initial frame and subsequent frames, but also sets the title of all frames to "foo". Specifying the X instance name via the --eval "(setq x-resource-name \"foo\")" command line option has no effect at all. If there is a way to specify the X resource instance name for all frames without setting the frame titles, what is it? And if there isn't, there should be. -- Kevin Rodgers
