An xterm, for instance, will get these first from /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, which can be a good reference for what settings are available. After that, it might look for a file named XTerm in a directory you've designated with XAPPLRESDIR (and I notice that fink puts something in that list). After that, it will look to the X server itself for resources you've given it with 'xrdb'. This last method is generally what I use to change settings.
My .xinitrc file has this line which says to read resources I've set: xrdb -merge .Xresources In my .Xresources file, I've got these lines for xterm settings: XTerm.VT100.SaveLines: 1500 XTerm*AudibleBell: false XTerm*VisualBell: true XTerm*ScrollBar: true XTerm*ReverseWrap: true XTerm*TtyModes: erase ^h kill ^u intr ^c susp ^z XTerm*CharClass: 45-46:48,64:48 XTerm.VT100.Font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-17-*-100-100-*-*-*-* XTerm.VT100.BoldFont: -*-courier-bold-r-*-*-17-*-100-100-*-*-*-* The nice thing about setting these with 'xrdb' is that even xterms that I've launched on systems that have no file access to my files, such as those running on the far end of an SSH connection, still use these settings. I don't know if the scroll bar can be moved to the right side, but running 'man xterm' will give you plenty to read, and maybe it's there ;-).
