[comp.windows.x] X11 startup file/script

philf@med-isg.stanford.edu (Phil Fernandez) (04/25/88)

The X11 manual pages make repeated reference to "your X startup file"
or "your X startup script" (qv. xsetroot, xrdb).  Can someone tell me
what these references mean?  Do they simply refer to a shell script
that one might manually run after starting the server and xterm, or
does X contain some (poorly-documented) provision for processing a
startup script upon startup?
