I believe "Poligraf" is the package which uses "cmyk-hax". I could
get colour separation of .eps files included (which was drawn in
xFig). However, an eps file converted from jpg fail to allow these
package to separate colours. Can some one help on this issue.

Is there any way to get colour separation from a PDF file?

You can reload your X-resources explicitly without restarting
X. Changes to your .Xdefaults file will not take effect until 
the next time you restart X ... To reload X-resources without
restarting X, do: $xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
