[mosh-users] Mosh, clusterssh and colors

[Niklaas Baudet von Gersdorff]

John, Keith, thanks a lot for your sophisticated explanation. At least
now I understand where the problem lies.

I am surprised how you could describe my set-up although you actually
don't know it. The explanation makes totally sense to me. I'll see
whether I write a wrapper script. If I do, I will let you know and share
it.

FWIW, there are resources to configure XTerm the 'archaic' way, so that
should be easy: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-xresources.

It definitely does!
