The problem is not with TERM but with COLORTERM. If TERM is set to
xterm and COLORTERM is set to something that has "rxvt" as its
substring, we assume that we run under rxvt, not xterm.
I've never heard of COLORTERM--what does it mean?
But xterm should not transfer any envvars that try to describe
the tty it was invoked from to the tty it sets up.
