Oh, I didn't realize this was an upstream change. Let me say that besides
this problem, the new xterm entry did make me very happy, becuase color
curses apps now work in xterms, and don't mess up the screen colors when
they exit, like they used to with xterm-color.
I don't care if I have to change my config to make the new way work, just so
long as you can tell me some way to change it that also keeps non-curses
(esp. slang) apps using backspace and delete properly.
