Nope, it's the same place on RedHat.  RedHat has no
/etc/X11/Xresources file:

but it is there in /etc/X11/xdm.

Note that Debian has an /etc/X11/Xresources file.  This is different
from the /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources(_0) file.  /etc/X11/Xresources
controls global defaults for X sessions (what xterm font to use, for
instance).  /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources sets things up for the xdm login
widget.
