Command-line Settings

[table of contents] [index]
Most X users can store command-line options in an X startup
file like .xsession or .xinitrc.
For example, here is the section of my .xsession file used
for this book:
xmh -display :0.1 -geometry 660x460+200+5 &
The -display and -geometry options are standard X
Toolkit options; see the
X(1)
manual page.
Command-line options might be most useful when you start xmh
from an xterm window or a shell script, or when you want to
override resource settings.
See the Section Changing How Commands Work.
You can customize xmh with entries in a resource file like
.Xdefaults, instead of, or in addition
to, setting command-line options.
These override any existing defaults -- though you'll first have to restart
xmh, restart X, or give a command such as the following:
% xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults
