The reason your version didn't have a . in front of it is because it was not
your PERSONAL Xclients file, I think. If it were in your home directory it
would be .Xclients (or .xclients -- not sure which.) However, the one you
edited is your SYSTEM-WIDE Xclients file. In your home directory, you would
also have had a .Xclients-default had there been a ".Xclients." :-)
Just some FYI. :-)
