xsetroot -solid black is a program/executable
Code:
$ ls -l $(which xsetroot)  
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15656 Mar 26  2010 /usr/X11R6/bin/xsetroot
So it is not an configuration option in a config file. It needs to be run/executed.

I use startx, a shell script, which invokes /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
Code:
$ ls -l $(which startx)
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4517 Mar 26  2010 /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

$ ls -l /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc                                 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1057 Jan 10 10:01 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I had to add the xsetroot command to this xinitrc script.

I never used xdm, but the X11 directory in /etc has an xdm directory
Code:
$ ls -l /etc/X11/                                              
total 40
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  1024 Apr  5  2010 app-defaults
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Apr  5  2010 fs

drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Apr  5  2010 xinit
drwxr-xr-x  11 root  wheel   512 Mar 26  2010 xkb
