As Po says, X resources are a per-display thing -- the user may have
wildly differing X resources on different displays, and the intention of
X is that programs should query the X resource database whenever a new
window (i.e., frame) is opened.
Which removing that code from x-win.el would do.
I think Po is right here -- that code snippet in x-win.el just looks
like a misunderstanding. (We handle all other X resources correctly, it
just this one that we handle in this wrong manner.)
