xterm reads ~/.Xresources, where I have (amongst other stuff):

XTerm*decTerminalID: vt340
XTerm*numColorRegisters: 256
XTerm*termName: xterm-256color
XTerm*utf8: true
XTerm*background: White
XTerm*foreground: Black
XTerm*cursorColor: Red
XTerm*reverseVideo: false
XTerm*scrollBar: false
XTerm*reverseWrap: true
XTerm*locale: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
XTerm*faceName: Inconsolata:size=10
XTerm*boldFaceName: Inconsolata Bold:size=10
XTerm*fullCursor: true
XTerm*scrollTtyOutput: false
XTerm*scrollKey: true
XTerm*titleBar: false
XTerm*saveLines: 4096
XTerm*vt100.geometry: 80x24
XTerm*vt100.printerCommand: select-url
XTerm*vt100.charClass: 33:48,35:48,37-38:48,43-47:48,
58:48,61:48,63-64:48,95:48,126:48
XTerm*vt100.cutNewline: false
XTerm*vt100.cutToBeginningOfLine: false
XTerm*eightBitInput: false
XTerm*modifyCursorKeys: 1
XTerm*modifyFunctionKeys: 1
XTerm*printerCommand: select-url
XTerm*vt100.translations: #override \n\

All of this is probably not needed, most of it has been there for years.
