Yes I do, but that's not the problem:

bmah-freebsd-0:bmah% xrdb -query | grep customization
*customization: -color
bmah-freebsd-0:bmah% which xterm
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
bmah-freebsd-0:bmah% xterm &

[switch windows]

bmah-freebsd-0:bmah% echo $TERM
xterm
bmah-freebsd-0:bmah% uname -a
FreeBSD bmah-freebsd-0.cisco.com 4.1-RC FreeBSD 4.1-RC #0: Mon Jul 17 12:09:54 PDT 2000     root@bmah-freebsd-0.cisco.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/NIMITZ  i386
bmah-freebsd-0:bmah% xdpyinfo | grep vendor
vendor string:    The XFree86 Project, Inc
vendor release number:    3360

I'm not a big fan of multi-colored xterms, but it'd be nice to document 
how this works, for people who are.

Bruce.
