You appear to be confused by the difference between the terminal description, and the terminal itself. For xterm, depending on your _preference_, you could use TERM=xterm, TERM=xterm-16color, TERM=xterm-256color. VTE developers prefer to use TERM=xterm-256color, even though it's not a good match. But that's done solely for nontechnical reasons. ... the suggested hardcoded behavior doesn't appear to be an improvement. -- Thomas E.
