/usr/X/adm/oladduser modifies your .profile file and creates the default
init&defaults files. It should be as simple as logging out and in again.
If that doesn't work, check that your .profile, .Xdefaults, .olinitrc etc.
have been successfully created/modified. Did oladduser give you any error
messages?
