/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 /usr/X11R6: X Window System, Version 11 Release 6 (optional) |

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] |
