Create a new one.  The name is »~/.Xresources« -- the dot was missing
in my previous posting.  Normally it's read automatically when the X
server is started.  If not, you need to enter »xrdb -merge
~/.Xresources« or put this in your ~/.xsession (or
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession).

If you do it in »~/.emacs«, Emacs starts *with* a tool bar (which
obviously doesn't make much sense) and removes it later.  Compare the
two calls below.  You'll see that they lead to different sizes of the
Emacs frame.

emacs -q -no-site-file -xrm 'Emacs.toolBar: 0' -geometry 80x20

emacs -q -no-site-file -xrm 'Emacs.toolBar: 1' -geometry 80x20 \
  -eval '(tool-bar-mode -1)

Bye, Reiner.
