Is there any way I can change this behaviour so that xterm behaves like

The following is my $HOME/.Xresources file, which is read on login to
gui desktops.

! For users doing remote connections into the account.
! The following command should be first in .xinitrc
! xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources

! vt100 XTerm users will need numlock on and export TERM=vt100
