Why X-Designer does not pick-up resources set in my .Xdefaults file?

I am using openlook window manager. When I set the resource XDesigner.definitionsFileName it is not picked up by X-Designer. If the server has the RESOURCE_MANAGER property set on the root window of the display, it will not read the user’s .Xdefaults file. You typically set the RESOURCE_MANAGER property using xrdb. OpenWindows start-up script will xrdb your .Xdefaults file. This has the effect that the resources set in the .Xdefaults file after OpenWindows is started will not take effect until you re-run xrdb.
