raspberry pi linux x11 setup question

[Louis Mamakos]

On UNIX, ~ is shorthand for your home directory.  So, the instructions are really telling 
you to create a file called .Xdefaults in the home directory for the "root" and "pi" users.
That's probably /root/.Xdefaults and /home/pi or some similar.  If you log in a "pi", 
you will of course be left in the home directory.
