Bug#341686: xterm cannot be started in utf-8 mode by default

xterm can be compiled with traces, which usually would show
enough information in this situation to see what it is really
doing.  I'd set it up by (tarballs on my ftp area):

	./configure --enable-widechars --enable-trace
	make
	./xterm -xrm '*locale:false' -u8

The "Trace-parent.out" file contains the details for the vt100
initialization (as well as other stuff, of course).  For instance if
there were some conflicting resource definition, the trace file shows
the actual resource value that xterm uses.
