I never cared much for the > app-defaults stuff... I thought this is a thing of the past. Well, xawtv needs to get it's resources from somewhere ;) (I don't think they are hardcoded..) There's 2 ways. (check the details.. this is from the top of my head..) 1 Systemwide: Copy the Xavtv.ad file (under xawtv-3.37/src/) to wherever your systemwide xresources are stored. Usually /etc/X11R6/app-defaults or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults , and rename it to Xawtv. 2 User specific: Copy the xawtv.ad file to your home directory and arrange for it to be merged at login time. For e.q. in your .bashrc add the following. if [ -f $HOME/.xawtv ]; then xrdb -m $HOME/.xawtv fi Hope this helps ;) -- Ragga
