playing with notcurses () I noticed that we hardcode COLORTERM=1 in /etc/profile. According to https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/blob/master/TERMINALS.md#the-colorterm-environment-variable it should be set to "24bit" if the terminal supports it, alternatively the terminfo should have rgb capability. Just did a quick test with the terminal applications we have in kde and xfce and they seem to override the setting and actually set COLORTERM=truecolor. Teaching ssh to relay that setting it would always be reset to 1 via /etc/profile. You can see the effect by installing notcurses-demos and running "notcurses-demo i" with different COLORTERM settings. Maybe time to get rid of COLORTERM handling in /etc/profile at all? mc seems to be colorized in any case :-)
