It used to be enough to just set xterm*VT100*utf-8 without any
further value. There is (now ?) according to the xterm man page
also a "locale" resource; setting this to "true" makes no
difference, nor calling from the command line "xterm -lc" or
"xterm -u8". It remains necessary to do CTRL-RightClick and select 
UTF8.
