lesstif confuses app-defaults

After upgrading XFree86 and installing lesstif (so far, I had used my own
lesstif), I found that the directory tree was confused:
instead of a symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults,
there was a directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults containing a symlink
app-defaults and a file Mwm (the latter should rather have been in
/etc/X11/app-defaults). Thus no application (except mwm) could find its
app-defaults file. This is obviously a bug in the lesstif tar file.
(I just found this effect has been reported before in 2002-05/msf00296.html
but is still not fixed.)
