No, removing termName from .Xresources doesn't change the scenario at
all.

Also, as you might have read in a previous mail of mine, i suspect that
this is mainly affecting vim, other terminals apps are able to display
bold colours in non-screen terminals.

But, why only vim is displaying this behaviour is beyond me. If it's of
any use, i am attaching my vimrc.
