Do a find for Xclients or .Xclients. You may have one in ~ or in
somewhere like /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients. Actually, your best bet
is to poke around in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 or similar and figure out
what scripts do what. Tell me your OS and whether you run xdm or
xinit or startx and I can probably give you more direct help.
Most X apps use geometry to set size in pixels. Xterm does it
in characters, so the following:
XTerm.vt100.geometry: 80x48
sets an xterm 80 chars wide and 48 high. It should change size if
it changes font.
The vt100 widget is the one where the text appears. Xterm also does
tektronix emulation but noone uses that anymore. The widgets for
menus are vtMenu, fontMenu and mainMenu.
