Yet another suddenly-weird xterm



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi.

(Yes, I looked thru the archives for the recent article on xterm
weirdness.)

Here it is: I ssh from a konsole on my workstation (rebel) to 
my almost-totally-woody debian firewall (foobar).  This afternoon, 
the Insert, Home & End keys worked correctly at foobar's console, 
and in the ssh session inside the konsole session on rebel.

Then, I did "apt-get upgrade" and upgraded ~55 packages, then
rebooted.  Now, in konsole ssh sessions from rebel to foobar,
the Insert, Home & End keys don't work from the 2.05a.0(1)
prompt.

Delete, Backspace, & the 4 arrow keys work, though.  And the 4
questionable keys *do* work in curses programs like vim 6.

  #  showkey -s
  kb mode was XLATE
  
  press any key (program terminates after 10s of last keypress)...
  ^[[2~  #Insert
  ^[[1~  #Home
  ^[[4~  #Delete
  # dumpkeys |grep Ins
  keycode 110 = Insert
  string Insert = "\033[2~"

There are no entries for Home & End.

Any thoughts?

TIA,
Ron
