I'm not sure if I know what you mean by "the explorer windows", but the
display independent resources can be found in
/usr/explorer/lib/X11/app-defaults
while the display dependent resources are in
/usr/explorer/lib/X11/app-defaults/sgi-color*
Search for Geometry resources in the Explorer resource file.
Also (although I wouldn't recommend it), you can do things like :
Render*Geometry: 350x350-10-10
with the obvious meanings. All control panels can be placed this way.

Perhaps your system admin hasn't installed Explorer correctly, so that
the necessary fonts are not found. Check to see if the link from
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/sgi-color* to
/usr/explorer/lib/X11/app-defaults/sgi-color*
exists. If not, then that is probably the cause of your problem.
