That is what .Xdefaults or similar is for...

XTerm*termName: xterm-xfree86
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: grey
XTerm*jumpScroll: true
XTerm*multiScroll: true
XTerm*scrollBar: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
XTerm*faceName: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 7

(yes, those are what I use)

Anyway, don't use symlinks here in any case.

command term    "xterm -fa 'Bitstream Vera Serif'"

works fine, including with the ssh-to dialogue.

a combination of sticky mode, autogroup and a patch to make commands for
"switch to group X and hide the rest" available would emulate virtual
desktops fine. I've not written the patch since i've currently got other
more important things to do. Anyone who wants to write such a patch is
welcome, else I'll get around to it eventually.
