.SH STARTING
Typically the window manager is started from a script, either run by
.B startx(1) 
or a login manager such as 
.B xdm(1).
.PP
If you start from the console, you need an .xinitrc file. Here's a
complete example:
.sp
.in +4
.nf
\&#! /bin/sh

# Set nice background.
xsetroot \-mod 16 16 \-fg rgb:54/6/6 \-bg grey20

# Set nice pointer cursor.
xsetroot \-cursor_name plus \-fg white \-bg black

# Load resources.
xrdb \-load ~/.Xresources

# Start window manager in the background. If it dies, X still lives.
mcwm &

# Start a terminal in the foreground. If this dies, X dies.
