The user makes a good point.  When a user want emacs to obey x-resources,
the user specify the  x-resources in their init file.  Rather than obey them
when a user did not specifically ask for that to happen.  Vanilla Emacs should
load modus-themes, then users can change that if they do not like the theme.
