I believe you could add the line to your ~/.Xresources file, and 
issue the command
  xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
in your ~/.xinitrc or at the command line to add the resource for any 
user without having to restart the X server.  The resource values become 
available when the next instance of XTerm (or any complying application) 
launches.
