Subject: color xterm as default?

Package: xbaseR6

When re-installing xbaseR6, I ran into a problem where if I select the
color xterm as the default I get a really strange display in xterm.
Each character is accompanied by a solid block.  Backspace indicates
that the size of a character was not supposed to have changed (thus
there's a bunch of garbage characters on the screen when start
line-editing).

Reverting to mono-xterm restored normal behavior (and color xterm
works fine under those conditions).
