Actually, the man page says the the application must support resource
loading that way (Xt). Just checked out... b15 works correctly, b16
does not. I browsed through the b15-b16 patch, but didn't find out
what's causing the change. Someone who made changes, please...

BTW, for example
xemacs-20.3-b18 xrm "Emacs.Foreground: white" &
does (still) work.

Hmm... 'Emacs*Desk: 4' resource didn't work for pre-b16s, either
('*Desk: 4' works).
