I agree; who needs documentation when we have man pages? ;-)
Seriously, this particular bit (where applications find the values for
their resources) is in the man page for X. Try 'man X', then see the
sections on XFILESEARCHPATH and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH.
Disclaimer: I'm still using Tiger. If the Leopard man page for X doesn't
have this info, that's a documentation (errmmm, I mean man page) bug.
Cheers,
Mark
