.Xdefaults "xterm*ColorMode: True"

I always used to have the line:
xterm*ColorMode:True 
in my ~/.Xdefaults and it worked.
With the last few versions of cygwin/xfree it started complaining
$ xterm
Warning: Cannot convert string "true" to type Int

Although the xterm actually seemed to work ok, even doing the ColorMode 
stuff right. So I changed the relevant line to an integer like it seemed 
to be asking
xterm*ColorMode: 1
and it stopped complaining. 

Dunno what that's all about. Probably not a cygwin-specific thing, but I 
mention it here in case it is.
