It's a resource-setting (noting that my wording is a little convoluted):
showBlinkAsBold (class ShowBlinkAsBold)
Tells xterm whether to display text with blink-attribute the
same as bold. If xterm has not been configured to support
blinking text, the default is ``true.'', which corresponds to
older versions of xterm, otherwise the default is ``false.''
assuming that's what we're talking about, "xterm -v" would show
XFree86 4.4(185)
