the first two that you have are incorrect, but the only thing really wrong 
with the last one is that the program names should be in lower case.  
the following should work better:

XIcon*xclock*Autostart: False
XIcon*xcal*Autostart:   False
XCtrl*hpterm*Autostart: False

this has the advantage of leaving the icons in the application organizers, 
so in case you want to use them later, they are still around.  note that 
if the hpterm you are complaining about is marked Console, you'll need to use:

XIcon*console*Autostart: False

to stop it.

this stuff is somewhat documented in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/{XCtrl,XIcon}
and in the man page for xctrl(1).

this is not an official response.

The hpterm is NOT the console which is started .x11start, it is a regular 
hpterm.  Turning off autostart is not what I what.  It would be nice if
it came up automatically yet was configured to a different size than the
default 24x80.

As I said in the initial message, in my .Xdefaults file I changed the 
geometry of the hpterm.  The problem is that the first hpterm which comes up 
isn't configured to the new size.  All the windows which come up afterwards
are sized correctly.

Thanks for all the replies,
Jeff
