Yes that will work too, but Netscape keeps its own track of what the user
wants for the sizes of the various windows. It stores this in
preferences.js. It is easier to get the values in preferences.js right by
just setting the windows the way you want them and then 'Close' them within
Netscape (with a 'proper' exit, Netscape will record the window
dimensions). This is easier than manually editing Xdefaults (IMHO of
course).
