In what specific file? Say that I want two xterms with
a -14-- point type, one anchored at +0-0 and the other
anchored at +0+0. Also, let's say that I want one to
be initialized with '-iconic' and the other to be displayed.
Where is the session startup control? (i have looked for
docs on by-hand configuration; haven't found it.)

In just the past few years the number of Gnome-specific
apps have mushroomed--it's great that FBSD is getting
more user-friendly--but without these hooks I get a slew
of output to stderr. That's why it's time to move on,
move up. Given my familiar set of xterms in various
workspaces, switching would be much easier.
