The
.B XResourceManagerString
function returns the RESOURCE_MANAGER property from the server's root
window of screen zero, which was returned when the connection was opened using
.BR XOpenDisplay .
The property is converted from type STRING to the current locale.

.B XmbTextPropertyToTextList
for a single element STRING property.
The returned string is owned by Xlib and should not be freed by the client.
The property value must be in a format that is acceptable to
.BR XrmGetStringDatabase .
If no property exists, NULL is returned.
