Now that you're feeling more comfortable with X, there are four
text files in your home directory that you can modify to customize your
environment (see XStart). The two that will be briefly
discussed here are `.xsession
' and `.twmrc
', both of which are
initialization files. Any changes to these files will show up the next
time you log on or if you run the `Re-read .twmrc
' option in your
`Window Opsl
' menu (assuming it's set up).
The `.xsession
' file starts your initial windows. Listed in
the file will be such things as which clients (such as xclock and
xbiff), will automatically be started with your X-Windows session. This
file can be edited by bringing up `~/.xsession
' in Emacs. The
commands used will be the same as those used in your `.twmrc
'
file.
Your twm initialization file can be edited by bringing up the
file `~/.twmrc
'. The file will be divided into sections, each
dealing with such specific details as the geometry and colors of your
xterm windows, the settings for the mouse button commands
(see Buttons), which clients, icons, and icon
managers will be shown, and what programs will be listed in your mouse
button menus. (For more complete information about the commands and
syntax used in the file, see Top.) Some of the more useful X programs (such as
xnetload) can be found in the directory `/usr/X11R6/bin
'.
