2065 Historically, XEmacs has used the X resource application class @samp{Emacs}
2066 for its resources. Unfortunately, GNU Emacs uses the same application
2067 class, and resources are not compatible between the two Emacsen. This
2068 sharing of the application class often leads to trouble if you want to
2069 run both variants.
2070
2071 Starting with XEmacs 20.5, XEmacs will use the class @samp{XEmacs} if it
2072 finds any XEmacs resources in the resource database when the X
2073 connection is initialized. Otherwise, it will use the class @samp{Emacs}
2074 for backwards compatability. The variable @var{x-emacs-application-class}
2075 may be consulted to determine the application class being used.
2076
2077 The examples in this section assume the application class is @samp{Emacs}.
