This is what I did: Look in the app-defaults directory for XTerm and XTerm-color resource files. (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults or in /etc/X11/app-defaults) In them files, you'd find the VT100 settings: ! Enable Colour by default. *VT100*colorMode: on *VT100*boldColors: on *VT100*dynamicColors: on ! Uncomment this to use color for underline attribute *VT100*colorULMode: on *VT100*underLine: off ! Uncomment this to use color for the bold attribute *VT100*colorBDMode: on ! Uncomment this to use the bold/underline colors in preference to other colors !*VT100*colorAttrMode: on This is what I changed to get exactly the behaviour you're describing. I can send you the exact settings later on as I don't have access to them right now. Basically it's the UL setting and few others, you have to change only few of them though.
