I dont know what your previous config was, but (supposing you did not
upgrade your emacs package) one possible explanation would be that your
xterm still generated the ^[[H and ^[[F sequences for home and end. This
is now considered bogus by the debian as well as upstream X maintainers so
this has changed, but I know debian used the old mappings at some point. I
dont know when the switch occured exactly.
As for the beep problem, I was getting exactly the same thing with
xemacs21. I *think* it is because the xterm.elc uses the [select] key,
while other parts of [x]emacs dont know about select. I would not bet too
much on my explanation though :)
