Seriously?! I mean, we can reasonably ask people to do that, can we?
Is there another way?
Naive approach to look for candidate variables:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ltrace -e getenv xterm 2>&1 |grep '"X'|sort -u
libX11.so.6->getenv("XCOMPOSECACHE") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XCOMPOSEFILE") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XKB_DEBUG") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XKB_DISABLE") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XKEYSYMDB") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XLIBBUFFERSIZE") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XLOCALEDIR") = nil
libX11.so.6->getenv("XMODIFIERS") = nil
libXau.so.6->getenv("XAUTHORITY") = "/home/ludo/.Xauthority"
libXt.so.6->getenv("XAPPLRESDIR") = nil
libXt.so.6->getenv("XENVIRONMENT") = nil
libXt.so.6->getenv("XFILESEARCHPATH") = nil
libXt.so.6->getenv("XTAPPPEEKEVENT_SKIPTIMER") = nil
libXt.so.6->getenv("XUSERFILESEARCHPATH") = nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Would one of these work better? :-)

That’s unreasonable IMO.
Is this motivated by the broken ctrl-click in xterm? That thing used to
work, I wonder what happened.
Thanks for investigating!
