Yes, the imake config template of SLS seems to be broken. You can
certainly install the app-defaults files by hand, but this is a
temporary relief and not real remedy; and the problem will bite you
again when you build other X applications under your setup or upgrade
Seyon. Better fix the imake template. Shouldn't require changing more
than a couple of lines. In the mean time, you have to install the
app-default files as follows:

install -c -m 0444 Seyon.ad /usr/X386/lib/X11/app-defaults/Seyon
install -c -m 0444 Seyon-co.ad /usr/X386/lib/X11/app-defaults/Seyon-color
