Default to TERM=xterm-256color

[egmontkob]

LilyTerm defaults to TERM=xterm which advertises 8 (16) colors only. Pretty much every graphical terminal emulator supports 256 colors nowadays (and VTE underneath LilyTerm actually supports 16 million).

You should advertise 256-color support by setting TERM=xterm-256color by default (which is VTE's default in case you don't override it).

See mate-desktop/mate-terminal#209 for some further details.

xterm-256color setting rep=%p1%c\E[%p2%{1}%-%db.
LilyTerm is not support rep format.

So xterm and xterm-256color cause I upgrade to ncurses 6.1, atop layout broken. · Issue #25 · Atoptool/atop.

Example code

#include <ncurses.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <term.h>

int main() {
  setupterm(NULL, fileno(stdout), NULL);
  putp(tparm(repeat_char, 'x', 5));
  return 0;
}

this code output is xxxxx on Konsole.
It is x on LilyTerm.

I suggest example gnome-256color.
