I did not know that this was so controversial. Really, I like the control, as
a user, of being able to control resources on the command line or from a file
or dynamically with a program. As an administrator I like to be able to set
system-wide defaults which knowledgable users can then change.

I have seen the early Win32 stuff. I know very little about the gtk on Win32
libraries. Do they have any external configuration?
I will look at the Troll Tech stuff. I personally use resources under KDE a
lot because KDE sets default colors I don't like.
