Indeed. I think such a change will be safe on Windows, as there is
only one registry, and it cannot be configured to be anywhere else. On
X though, I have seen systems that ignore .Xdefaults and only use
.Xresources, and others that ignore both those (when I installed
XFree86 4.0 and Gnome 1.4 from source recently, in the default
configuration my .Xdefaults was ignored completely, and my
.Xresources was only read if I chose not to start Gnome on login).
