Thanks for xfig!

When I start it up it complains about not finding the app-defaults
file, and it starts with the "ugly" colorless interface.

This is what I did to "fix" it:

# Install the app-defaults files
cd /opt/csw/share/xfig/
cp Fig Fig-color /opt/csw/lib/X11/app-defaults/

# make a xfig wrapper - either replace xfig or
# create a new "xfig-color" command.
# In my case I replaced xfig:

cd /opt/csw/bin
cp xfig xfig-3.2.4

# xfig wrapper script

#!/bin/sh
# Wrapper for xfig-3.2.4
XFILESEARCHPATH=/opt/csw/lib/X11/%T/%N%C:/usr/openwin/lib/%T/%N%C
export XFILESEARCHPATH
exec /opt/csw/bin/xfig-3.2.4 -xrm "*customization: -color" "$@"


Maybe there's an easier/cleaner way to enable the color interface
but the above works fine for me.
