I have no strong opinion on the subject. Maybe one could just point
out more clearly in (emacs)Lucid Resources that `shadowThickness' and

kinds of problems.
Could you write a patch to do that?
Here it is. I am also suggesting a small, completely unrelated,
change. Namely, in the description of `editres', refer to the man
page for more details. That is because, in my experience, the short
explanation in the Emacs manual is, by itself, insufficient for
efficient use of `editres'. One really has to take a look at the man
page if one is going to use that program (in my opinion).

Horizontal spacing in pixels between items. Default is 3.

! Vertical spacing in pixels between items. Default is 1.

Horizontal spacing between the arrow (which indicates a submenu) and
the associated text. Default is 10.
@item shadowThickness
! Thickness of shadow line around the widget.
