I don't knwoo about aterm but even the good old xterm(1) has an X11
resource that can be set to the desired terminal type of new windows.

Hint:

	hades+charon:~$ grep termName .Xresources
	XTerm*termName: xterm

	hades+charon:~$ grep userresources= .xinitrc
	userresources=$HOME/.Xresources

	hades+charon:~$ grep xrdb .xinitrc | grep user
	    xrdb -merge $userresources
