Care to present an alternative? Documenting this problem seems to be
the only reasonable solution, every time it appears, usually re xterm
itself. I have actually got a slightly better plan brewing in my mind,
but I need to hash it out with Thomas Dickey and the other terminal
type and terminal emulator maintainers.

It's in ncurses-term. Eterm will need to depend on ncurses-term, or
request that it be moved to ncurses-base (which I'm not sure I want to
do).
