Sounds like a reasonable idea to me...I think your fixes are interfering
with ncurses's workaround. :)
Seriously, I'm going to take a closer look at exactly WTH xterm is
doing, and what the terminfo entry wants to happen. I need to get in
touch with the people working on keyboard configuration, so I can tailor
ncurses to match. Of course, what I'd _really_ like to do is pass
ncurses on to somebody else entirely. But nobody seems to want it. I
wonder why? :-P
