Another solution:

Put, in .emacs
  (add-to-list 'magic-mode-alist
    '("! conf-xd" . conf-xdefaults-mode) )

Then, create the file ~/.xterm, that looks like this

! conf-xd

! note: 2 = always hide pointer when typing
xterm*autoWrap:        true
xterm*pointerMode:     2
xterm*geometry:        77x28
xterm*background:      black
xterm*foreground:      green4
xterm*faceName:        default
xterm*metaSendsEscape: true

Then, in ~/.Xresources, put

#include ".xterm"

Note that ~ doesn't work, and $HOME doesn't work - an absolute
path works (with no fancy stuff, just, for example,
/home/user/.xterm), or (as above) a *relative* path: put both
files in $HOME, and don't mention the paths.

To not load the xterm configuration, comment the include line with ! (or M-;).
