Rectangular grace windows: how to get them?

The default grace window is square. This sometimes prevents the whole plotting area from being visualized. In order to force grace to start by default with a rectangular window, the following lines should be added in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file: 

!   Grace
XMgrace.width: 860
XMgrace.height: 720
XMgrace*regionsMenu.defineButton.acceleratorText: Ctrl+R
XMgrace*regionsMenu.defineButton.accelerator: Ctrlr
XMgrace.invertDraw: true
XMgrace.allowDoubleClick: true
XMgrace.toolBar: true
XMgrace.statusBar: true
XMgrace.locatorBar: true

and the command 

xrdb -merge .Xdefaults

launched. Upon a new start of grace, rectangular windows will be generated by default.
