    if (! $?skip_initial_xterm) then
	    echo "Creating initial xterm window..."
	    (xterm -geometry 80x56+0+0 &)
    endif


In the original 6.3A, it was possible to customize your login window
size as well... What we did was to pre-load a few resources for the
initial "login" window and let you customize everything including the
size this way.  This method forces you to have to set the variable
skip_initial_xterm and make a .startup.X file.
