I use

export  XAPPLRESDIR=/sw/etc/app-defaults
(Other common places are /etc/X11/app-defaults)


My Xfig starts up fine from the menu and gets the resources right.

Is it possible to get an application launched from the menu-bar to read its

Just a guess: Use the environment.plist file to also set the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment variable to point to your app-defaults directory.

At least, that's how it works in other UNIXes (unices?).
