Well, yes, there is no dedicated X Application Defaults directory in
OpenPKG -- it was never really required. For the few packages which
required it, we have done an ugly wrapping hack. For instance "xfig" is
a shell script which does:

#!/bin/sh
PATH="/usr/opkg/bin:$PATH"
export PATH
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH="/usr/opkg/etc/X11/app-defaults/%N"
export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
exec /usr/opkg/libexec/xfig/xfig ${1+"$@"}

Not really nice, but a lot better solution is unfortunately not possible
until we really get our "xorg" package fully working (then we can
hard-code a common AppDefault dir in it and use it from all other
packages).
