I've found setting X client options in ~/.Xdefaults requires the 'xrdb'
command to make the settings take effect.  Since I use 'csh', my ~/.login
file does   source ~/.Xinit    which contains    xrdb ~/.Xdefaults   which
must be repeated if ~/.Xdefaults is modified.  Depending on how X is set up and
maintained on your system, you may wish to use the -merge option of xrdb to
avoid wiping out some predefined X client options.
