Please see bug#4234, I have a patch there to allow emacs to read the
background color from xterm so that it can set the correct
background-mode (and not just default to 'light).
When that code is allowed to be checked in,
`xterm-enable-modify-other-keys' will not be appropriate anymore.
Maybe `xterm-enable-terminal-query' ?
