i think that one of the default windows that comes up is named login or
something like that (as it is a login shell, not just a standard shell).
regardless, .xinitrc is the file to edit.

there should be at least 4 or so different mice supported.  we also
support any mice that use apple's extended mouse protocol (which really
should be all of them since it's relatively easy to implement, but i guess
some mouse manufacturers are just weird...)

what kind of mouse is it?

ummmm....this damn well better work under mac68k or we're broken.  the
opt-1,2,3 thing was just a hack for people with standard keyboards where
it's difficult to actually reach both the option and arrow keys at the
same time while keeping one hand on the mouse.  it should work as well,
but i think there's a kernel option to turn it off (ISTR that there were
some rather critical international symbols tied to opt-1,2,3 that were
getting screwed by our mouse arrangement...)

later.
