I believe that the "correct" way to do this is to add xterm resource settings to your ~/.Xdefaults (which some people preferr to call ~/.Xresources) file. This is a method of setting attributes for an entire category of X clients, like all xterms. IIRC, your ~/.Xdefaults is loaded by a calling xrdb in your ~/.xinitrc file. (~/.xinirc is alos sometimes called ~/.xsession if you are using xdm.) I seem to recall that Xemacs has a very well documented sample.Xdefaults file accessable under it's help menu. This won't help with xterm resource settings but it does serve a a good example of setting them. Just for kicks here is a clip of my .Xdefaults regarding xterm settings. I'm not 100% sure if this is the most correct waqy to set these but they seemed to work. --- ! File: .Xdefaults ! This is where resources are specified for X applications ! ! To Reload these setting onto the X server use: ! ! xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults !
