They are X11 resources. You can often put them in $HOME/.Xdefaults and
they might get sourced by your window manager. If not, you can manually
run:

xrdb < ~/.Xdefaults

or add that line to your $HOME/.xinitrc

In ~/.Xdefaults itself, you might have the following, for example:

*backarrowKey: false

But, there's a lot of info on that page, and *backarrowKey is only one
possibility.
