/usr/X11R6/share is not explicit part of FHS (at least for version 2.2). |

Historical XFree place for app-defaults is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. |
10 |
FHS requires /etc, so since XFree 4 we have /etc/X11/app-defaults. |
11 |
For compatibility /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults should be a symlink to this |
12 |
directory. |

4.4.1 Purpose |
19 |
|
20 |
This hierarchy is reserved for the X Window System, version 11 release |
21 |
6, and related files. |
22 |
|
23 |
... |
24 |
|
25 |
4.4.2 Specific Options |
26 |
|
27 |
Host-specific data in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 should be interpreted as a |
28 |
demonstration file. Applications requiring information about the |
29 |
current host must reference a configuration file in /etc/X11, which may |
30 |
be linked to a file in /usr/X11R6/lib.[17] |
