Assuming that you are on a Unix/Linux system, it is usually the case
that the login process causes a file in your home directory to be read
and added to the X resources.  For example, on my linux setup the magic
file is called ".Xresources".

Alternatively, you can load properties into your X resources manually
using the "xrdb" command.

Finally, if you only want these properties to be set when you are using
Gnuplot.py, you could add the command-line options to the
gnuplot_command variable as follows:

>>> import Gnuplot
>>> Gnuplot.GnuplotOpts.gnuplot_command = \
...     "gnuplot -xrm 'gnuplot*line2Color:yellow'"

(before creating your Gnuplot.Gnuplot object).
