Rarely does a default X-Windows environment keep a user satisfied for very long. A look around at other terminals will show you that people love to customize their X environments with all sorts of colors, windows, and icons. These customization options are placed in the .xsession file in your directory. For information on customization options, see the online manual page for xterm, or pick up a good X-window's reference manual. Be forewarned that as you fool around with your .xsession file, any statement which is not syntactically legal will prevent you from accessing your Sun account from the Sun terminals. You will log in as usual, the lights on the upper-right of the keyboard will flash, then you will be presented with the login screen once again. If you experience this after modifying your .xsession, you will have to telnet to your account from a dumb terminal and fix the error from there. Always make a backup of your .xsession before modifying it so you can quickly restore things to normal.
