Following your suggestion I did xrdb -q; the result was
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q
*customization: -color
xterm*VT100*background: white
xterm*VT100*cursorColor: red
xterm*VT100*font: -efont-fixed-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*

xterm*VT100*foreground: black
xterm*VT100*utf8:
Apart from the first line, this is what I put in my ~/.Xresources file
ages ago. Notice there is a line xterm*VT100*utf8. I had put this in
because I thought it was necessary (and maybe it used to be in the
past). Anyway it did not hurt with xterm 200.
But then I commented it out, installed xterm 204, and restarted X.
And now lo and behold! xterm is 'hard-wired' to UTF-8 mode (with
right-clicking you cannot switch it off), and creating a new xterm with
xterm +u8 produces an xterm which displays Latin-1, and which can be
switched to UTF-8 manually. This is what Thomas Wolff wanted, I assume.
