Most of them are depressingly ignorant with respect to X sanity. Gtk and
Xt pay no attention to X resources, not even ones like `geometry';
likewise pay no attention to standard X command-line flags; and can't
handle multiple screens very well, partially because of this.

If they don't use X resources, an editres replacement would be useless.
