I hacked together an X resources file that modifies xterm colours so
that a _default configuration of vim_ resembles the gvim Zenburn colour
scheme: http://jon.dowland.name/unix/zenburn.xresources

$ xrdb -merge <file>
$ xterm -name zenburn -e vim

Yeah, although it does give you more flexibility. Its a trade-off. By
using the name-technique above, you can dedicate specific xterm
instances though.

I've never played around with a 256 colour xterm, although I would like
to see that.
