Yes, it's called Dotfiles. I feel bad about having done it,
but otherwise my home directory is twice as big and
has very long names in it. As Forsyth says, it's only
relevant on Unix.

What do you mean by an XWindows resource?
Is this different from a command-line option?
(Sorry, I know very little about X even now.)
Clearly we need some uniform way to specify
window sizes for new windows. One option is
to put a '-g' into every gui problem to specify
geometry. Another option, which requires
no changes to the gui programs themselves,
is to have initdraw look in the environment
for a $windowsize and respect that. Then the
Plan 9 window script is just
"windowsize=$1; shift; exec $*".

This isn't emacs, you know. ;-)
