It works now with the 3.2 'plain' xterm. I took out the
COLOR conditional from my .Xdefaults. Seems like Xaccel
didn't define it (?).

There is still one problem:

login into another machine (either telnet or rlogin) and starting
a program that issues ANSI color escapes (like mutt or simply cat'ing
that colored 'FreeBSD is a great OS' example) doesn't work.

This still gives me riddles.
