The best way of doing this is to add a line:

    xterm*termName:         xterm-color

to ~/.Xdefaults, and then make sure that:

    /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xdefaults

gets run as part of your session initialization --- ie. add it to your
~/.xsession file if you're running xdm(1) or equivalent, or to
~/.xinitrc if you're using startx(1).  This should work under KDE,
Gnome or any old window manager.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
