Everybody seems to have missed this but there is a mechanism to make
xterm set TERM to xterm-color which also makes most other X apps work in
colour. The trick is
*customization: -color
In .Xdefaults (or anything else that sets X resources).
I gather (I have not tested) that this even does the right thing if you
run an xterm on a mono X-Server.
