Hello,
I too was following this link with great interest. Due to the same reasons.
Some time ago (months now) I lost the use of the HOME & END keys while within
X. I, as usual, didn't get too excited about it due to running UNSTABLE and
figuring it would be dealt with in time. Then when the question was finally
asked, my interest was peeked.
David, where are you implimenting this "...$TERM=xterm..." command at? I
tried it from within a term, a console, via my .bash_profile, and so far
haven't had any luck at all. It's not a massively urgent thing, but I really
would like the use of those keys back. :--) I'm sorta a console junkie so I
have a number of xterms open and running while within X and it's a bit of a
pain to not have the functional keys when coding, etc.
Regards!
