I think the only one I created was .xinitrc in my home directory.
It is -
====== starts here
#!/bin/sh
xterm -fn 7x13bold -geometry 80x32+10+50 &
xterm -fn 9x15bold -geometry 80x34+30-10 &
oclock -geometry 70x70-7+7 &
xsetroot -solid midnightblue &
exec twm
===== ends here
Not really sure the #!/bin/sh is necessary. Works tho...
