Tried with XFCE's "Terminal", which has a $TERM option in its
configuration dialog (under advanced options), but it simply doesn't
work. I set it to "xterm-256color", but within the shell, TERM is
still "xterm".

Not sure whether that is an XFCE (or vte) bug, or whether some
system-wide profile script overrides it. Afaict, none of my user
profile scripts overrides it.
