But why?  Under X, the resource database loaded by Emacs is normally
specific to each display.  (Emacs only loads the users X resource file
manually if it was never previously loaded into the X server.)  I think
what the code in x-win.el does means that only one display's
`reverseVideo' resource will be respected at any given time, while each
display's X resources are documented to only apply to frames created on
that display.

Thanks.
