+** "XEmacs" used as X11 application class
+
+Previously, XEmacs checked the X11 resource database for resources starting
+with XEmacs, and used "XEmacs" as its application class if any existed,
+otherwise using "Emacs" for backward compatibility.  Because of divergence
+between the reseource GNU Emacs and XEmacs use, this has been changed; if
+you don't have the time to migrate your resource DB right now, set
+USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS in your environment before starting
+XEmacs, for the old behavior.  This workaround will go away in the course of
+the next major release, though, so you will have to migrate your resources
+at some point.
