3.1: X Window System & Resources

Q3.1.1: Where is a list of X resources?

Search through the NEWS file for ‘X Resources’. A fairly comprehensive list is given after it.

In addition, an app-defaults file etc/Emacs.ad is supplied, listing the defaults. The file etc/sample.Xresources gives a different set of defaults that you might consider for installation in your ~/.Xresources file. It is nearly the same as etc/Emacs.ad, but a few entries are altered. Be careful about installing the contents of this file into your .Xresources (or legacy .Xdefaults) file if you use GNU Emacs under X11 as well.
