 debian-specific tweaks to xterm
 Set the default VT widget foreground and background colors to gray90 on
 black, which approximates the color scheme of the Linux virtual console
 (and approximates actual DEC VT terminals far more closely than
 black text on a white background in any case).
 .
 Stop using an Xaw7 gradient for the backgrounds of the xterm menus; it
 produces an unappealing effect if the menus are configured to use a
 larger font than the stock configuration (also, xterm has added items to
 some menus since I last calculated the gradient size and I can't be
 bothered to do it again).
 .
 If the X server is capable of color and has more than 8 planes of color
 depth available, set the menu colors to gray15 on antique white, and
 customize the appearance VT widget's scrollbar.  Otherwise, do not eat up
 precious entries in the color palette.
 .
 Set the "ptyInitialErase" parameter to true by default.
 .
 Set kbs to \177 rather than to ^H for "xterm-new" in the termcap and
 terminfo files so that the backspace key is VT220-conformant, as directed
 by section 9.8 of the Debian Policy Manual. This used to be done for
 "xterm-debian" terminal type which is now just an alias for "xterm".
 .
 The "rep" feature has been removed from xterm-new and derived terminfo
 descriptions, as it causes compatibility problems with older terminal
 emulators, see https://bugs.debian.org/933053.

 change the disallowedwindowops default
 Upstream introduced a new 'disallowedWindowOps' resource to fine-tune
 which operations are affected by the 'allowWindowOps' setting.  After
 discussion with the security team, change the default for the new
 resource to include all operations.
