I do. It would be impossible for xterm to figure out all
varaiables
invented by other terminal emulators, such as rxvt, and arrange
for
them not to be inherited.
It would be easy for xterm to arrange that COLORTERM not be inherited.
There's no reason to refuse to solve a specific real problem just
because we don't see a way to solve all imaginable similar problems.
Well, just because it is easy does not make it the right thing to
do. I am not an xterm developer, but I would question why xterm
would have to take one specific environment variable it to account,
invented by another terminal emulator, to solve a potential problem
in Emacs. Also, this is not xterm specific, how about the Gnome and
KDE terminal emulators? HP at one point also had an X terminal
emulator. Should these also be modified to handle this specific
problem?
