2025-10-17 Fri 20:21 xterm config

I once tried to understand ~/.Xresources.  Main idea is simple but the
way it's used, how all values are scattered and overwrite each other,
makes this system very messy for me.  I failed to learn how one can
know what configuration can be applied to each program and with what
values.  In case of xedit I had to read source code to learn that.
This is most likely a result of legacy ideas that are now obsolete or
simple make less sense on full desktop environments.  I would like to
experience pure X11 at some point.  I feel like there is a lot of good
ideas and knowledge to discover.

Fortunately for xterm I have only few lines from interwebs.  I'm
posting them here with few handy commands just for safekeeping.
