For less, have a look at the "-X" flag:

Disables sending the termcap initialization and deinitialization
strings to the terminal. 

In termcap/terminfo, you probably have to look for
the 'ti' and 'te' capabilities.

Basically, find the xterm termcap/terminfo source file, edit it
to change/delete ti/te and re-compile the source using tic.

Yes, someone should write a howto about this 8-}
