In 356, I changed the logic to ensure that the terminal-id would be one of
the ones known for reporting via escape sequence.  But a user complained that
it was no longer possible to pretend that it was both a vt340 and a vt420(?).

In 358, I added a graphics-id to address that need, but made a coding error
in a routine used for both ids.  I normally don't give the "vt" prefix in

	xterm -ti vt340

but rather just this (via a script which mocks up all of the different models)

	xterm -ti 340

There's always bugs to investigate, but a regression (new bug) really ought
to be fixed first.
