In my case I chose to modify my xinitrc for the system. It is located
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit. I set the startup to see

xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 -ls &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 -ls &
exec xterm -geometry 80x50+0+0 -name login

I do a startx from a prompt. I want to be able to use my aliases and
use the -ls. If I want an xwindow to be 80x25, I would change the x50
on that window to x25. I use startx because I only have to exit the
main window to kill X.
