[plug] xterm and xterm-color

Hi Trevor,

  With a Debian install we found our xterms had terminal type: xterm-debian
with similar whinges when telneting to remote hosts. The solution for us was to
modify /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm so that:

       XTerm.termName: xterm

I expect you will either have to edit a similar /etc file or the
appropriate app-defaults file.

  HTH
