Explorer \is/ written to have things come up right, but we put
a lot of geometry and font information in a subdirectory of the
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults file, based on screen size.  If you
don't follow the default SGI login procedure, you must type

	setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH `appdefpath`

This is described in the release notes, section 2.3.1.  If you don't
have this defined correctly, you get gray windows that you must position
manually, and the font is too big.  If it is correct, the windows have
blue-green backgrounds and reasonably fonts, and pop up in predetermined
places.
