If you set it in fluxbox-menu, what happens when you decide to try out
(eg.) fvwm or icewm?  You'll get the system's defn., not yours.

Go read /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.  Here's some of the stuff in my
.Xresources which over-ride the system defn's:

XTerm*geometry:                    90x43
XTerm*SaveLines:                   2000
XTerm*VT100*background:            black
XTerm*VT100*cursorColor:           green
XTerm*VT100*font:                  fixed
XTerm*VT100*foreground:            wheat
XTerm*VT100*loginShell:            true
XTerm*VT100*visualBell:            true
