Yes. The resource translations are as follows:

-debug debug
-xfversion flversion
-flversion flversion
-name name
-display display
-sync sync
-depth depth
-visual visual
-private privateColormap
-shared sharedColormap
-standard standardColormap
-stdcmap standardColormap
-double doubleBuffer
-bw borderWidth
-vid visualID
-rgamma rgamma
-bgamma bgamma
-ggamma ggamma
-bs backingStore

Sounds like a good idea to me. TC?

I don't know, offhand, if there's a workaround under the current
regime since I really haven't fiddled with the resources stuff all
that much or all that recently.

If I get a few spare minutes, I'll try to commune with the manual and
play around with the problem to see if I can come up with something.
