I don't have an opinion about this, and I'm usually on Windows, which has no X resources. It sounded logical to me when I read that customization should take precedence over X resources. However, it just occurred to me that it might also be useful for it to be the other way around. A user might have the same `custom-file' on different platforms, and different X resources for various platforms would then modulate the behavior, if they took precedence over the `custom-file' settings. Otherwise, to get the same effect, the user would need different `custom-file's. Just a thought.
