Bug#1724: unexpected keypress translations



PACKAGE: xstd
VERSION: 3.1.2-3

I noticed today that keypress translations are different in an
xterm window than on a VC not running X.  I'm really not sure
if this is a bug or a case of "you should have expected that",
but it caused a program expecting the VC-style keypress
translations to misbehave when it got unexpected keypress
translations in an xterm window.  It seems to me that, unless
there's some good reason otherwise, default keypress translations
shouldn't change.

To duplicate, type "cat -v", F1, ^D in a VC; observe the results;
startx; and do the same thing in an xterm.  I know that TERM=linux
doesn't work right in an xterm and it's necessary to set TERM=xterm,
but that's another issue (or at least I think it is).

I'm no X-windows jock, as must be apparent by now.  Just reporting
unexpected behavior.
