>Description:
Since XFree86 ships with Thomas Dickey's xterm, it seems logical to use
his provided termcap that ships with the distribution.  I had to modify
/etc/termcap to add the color_xterm capability in order to get color
"by default".  I would think you would want this capability "out of the
box".  Otherwise it's a pain to override the TERM setting all the time. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Run xterm using color-capable apps like slrn or Mutt.
>Fix:
Either add color capability to the default termcap entry or (better yet)
use Thomas' version intact.  Of course, I could be approaching this
entirely from the wrong POV :)
