Re: rxvt vs xterm keybindings

[Richard M. Stallman]

    I do.  It would be impossible for xterm to figure out all varaiables  
    invented by other terminal emulators, such as rxvt, and arrange for  
    them not to be inherited.

It would be easy for xterm to arrange that COLORTERM not be inherited.

There's no reason to refuse to solve a specific real problem just
because we don't see a way to solve all imaginable similar problems.
