And if worse comes to worst, and you start your xterms using the command key
shortcut provided by XQuartz, you could edit that command to use command line
arguments to set the geometry and background color. You’d have to use ‘man
xterm’ to find the arguments’ syntax. Or it shouldn’t be hard to find examples
online. (example: xterm -sl 1000 )
