Oh, so that=E2=80=99s what you meant with =E2=80=9Crecurring=E2=80=9D? Like i=
t permanently?

You can set these kind of things in ~/.xinitrc
(or if you use a session manager, ~/.xsession).

Just add the command in there before starting your window manager,

e.g.

    xmodmap ...
    xsetroot ...
    xterm&
    twm
