VT100 is the class name for the vt100 widget which is under the XTerm

The asterisks tell Xt to apply that to anything with an application name
"background" anywhere under anything with a class name of VT100. One
could have an application with multiple levels containing the same class
name. If you know the actual hierarchy, a "." works better since it is
more specific, and overrides a wildcard in the same position which might
be set in the system's app-defaults file (or by xrdb). Most use of xrdb
is misguided (but it does reduce the amount of work the desktop people
do ;-)
