You can set up the XTerm resource *termName to have this automagically changed
by xterm(1) every time you fire up an xterm. With my ~/.xinitrc file being:
#!/bin/sh
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
test -f "${sysresources}" && xrdb -merge "${sysresources}"
test -f "${userresources}" && xrdb -merge "${usersresources}"
test -f "${sysmodmap}" && xmodmap "${sysmodmap}"
test -f "${usermodmap}" && xmodmap "${usermodmap}"
xset m 22/10 4
xset +dpms
xset dpms 300 1200 1800
xset b 100 800 20
xset r on
xset r rate 250 30
exec wmaker
I can put the changes to ~/.Xresources. A part of this file looks like:
% grep XTerm ~/.Xresources
XTerm*background: #224477
XTerm*foreground: #ffffff
XTerm*colorULMode: off
XTerm*font3: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-m-60-iso8859-1
XTerm*font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
