> Is the 6x6x6 color cube predefined, btw.?


Yeah, it's in effect when Xterm first starts up. The colours are defined in  
256colres.h in the Xterm source. The first 16 are the regular colours 
(aliases, not duplicates, so I can get green with either 32 or 38;5;2, and 
the sequence \033]4;2;rgb:00/00/ff\033\\ will redefine text printed with 
either of them to be blue). The next 216 indices are for the 6x6x6 colour 
cube. The last 24 are a greyscale ramp.

The behaviour of xterm is that the colours are updated everywhere when a 
palette change occurs.

How would transparency be a problem?
