How can I determine where the terminal widget is getting it's colors from? 
`$TERM` from the terminal widget yields `xterm`, and yet the terminal widget 
does not respect any configuration of xterm, for example from `.Xresources`. It 
also doesn't get anything from whatever terminal you've configured. VTE3 
doesn't have anything for configuring colors that I could find. The `LS_COLORS` 
environment variable still works at least ... but I'd really like to be able to 
set colors in a normal config file.

On another note, it's confusing that setting `Preferences->Tools->Terminal` 
doesn't affect the terminal widget in the message window. Intuitively you'd 
expect that setting the terminal set everything to do with the terminal 
(particularly the actual terminal that you see as a user). A tooltip or a more 
descriptive name would be good.
