Here's a patch against aterm-1.0.0 obtainable from

ftp://ftp.afterstep.org/apps/aterm/

(looks like 1.0.1 got released after I did the patch but I never
noticed). I'd also forgotten how it works: it sets the colour based on
the window title of the aterm, and I have shell codes in my PS1 prompt
that set the window title to the current directory (I have

PS1=\[\e]2;\W\007\]$

FWIW). Also note this is a real hack that I've never bothered to clean
up properly.
