Personally, I haven't bothered with this. I never ever start X11
manually anymore. I just fire up any X11 program, and then X11 starts
automatically.

Hmm. I remember seeing that once in the distant past, but haven't
seen it in ages. I don't remember what I did to fix it. Hmm...

It's at /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc

If it were me, I'd just write a script that starts up the two xterms.
If X11 isn't running when you start the script, it will be started
automatically. A benefit of this is that if you ever start up X11 for
any other reason than your two xterms, you won't get them.
