Yep, that's one of the changes.  Upstream xterm's colors are 
slightly different from what Red Hat has shipped.  I think they 
used to be very ugly or something, so we added customizations to 
make it prettier, then xterm cleaned itself up over time to look 
nicer, but with slightly different shade of blue.  That's not 
fact, just personal hypothesis.  ;o)
