I was going to wait for someone else actually using X at the moment to
respond, but they didn't so I'll have a stab:

Setting X Resources - .Xdefaults

A file named .Xdefaults in your home directory can be used to set X
resources, allowing you to change the behavior of X-windows programs. You
can set the colors or fonts of almost any program this way.

For example, the following resources will automatically turn on the
scrollbars for any xterm program, and will set the scroll buffer to be 1000
lines:

XTerm*scrollBar: on
XTerm*saveLines: 1000
