   Well, there's a bug in my copy of the genera emulator that prevents
   saving worlds (related to X11 protocol, so might not be present on
   Mac), so I can't set any variable for next cold boot. Also, I don't
   have access to more recent MIT sources where the bug might be fixed
   (hint, hint). And I prefer a streamlined solution to one requiring me
   to remember one more step at every boot time.

I doubt they are related to the VLM, but rather to the version of CLX
and some X11/XCB incompatibilities.  Why do think this might be fixed
in later MIT sources? AFAIK, MIT never used CLX, which was written by
TI.
