OK, you asked, here are some snippets from my *OLD* .Xdefaults file that
I think might be relevant.  I started this file back when it was X11R3,
and used it in R4 as well.  I no longer know how much of it still works
or is even relevant these days since I no longer invoke xterms from my
old .fwmrc menus (since I'm using the Gnome desktop these days).  I'm
pretty sure I used to invoke the various xterms with Class names so they
would select from the proper sets of defaults below.

.Xdefaults:

Note:  My color names come from a beta rgb.txt file that was offered,
then recanted during the X11R4 timeframe.

I hope my examples that worked at one time is useful to you.
