It says this:

       This  section documents the command-line options to XBoard.  You
       can set these options in two ways: by typing them on the shell
       command line you use to start XBoard,  or  by  editing  the
       settings  file  (usually ~/.xboardrc) to alter the value of the
       setting that was saved there.

which is false for any option of the "volatile" kind (I didn't know
they existed).
