It should match your terminal. For xterm, I use xterm-xfree86 but xterm-color
or color_xterm are fine if they work for you. If you are using a 256-color
xterm, xterm-256color is probably the best (you won't need -2 in that case).

Layouts are now applied once when you ask for them, the way to have one
automatically applied after you split is to bind it to your split key as well:
bind '"' splitw\; selectl main-vertical
