Unfortunately, GNU Emacs uses the same application +class, and resources are not compatible between the two Emacsen. This +sharing of the application class often leads to trouble if you want to +run both variants. + +Starting with XEmacs 20.5, XEmacs will use the class @samp{XEmacs} if it +finds any XEmacs resources in the resource database when the X +connection is initialized. Otherwise, it will use the class @samp{Emacs} +for backwards compatability. The variable @var{x-emacs-application-class} +may be consulted to determine the application class being used. + +The examples in this section assume the application class is @samp{Emacs}. + The Emacs resources are generally set per-frame. Each Emacs frame can have its own name or the same name as another, depending on the name passed to the @code{make-frame} function.
