There is no meaning for Xterm without launching an xterm with the -name
option. Do you mean XTerm?

Resources are specified with either
instance*resource: value
or
class*resource: value
The xprop program will tell you what the instance and class are. I have
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xterm", "XTerm"
"xterm" is the instance and "XTerm" the class. With your .Xresources I
could use either to specify the resources. With
xterm -name Xterm
the class is unchanged but the instance is "Xterm". "xterm" in your
.Xresources now has no effect because it is not the instance name.
