Home and End keys not working in xterm



I've just been banging on this for ages and I'm posting to help anyone
else who comes across the same problem:

Problem: Home and End keys do not work in xterm when using the
command-line history. I hit up-arrow to recall a previous command
line, want to go to the beginning of it, hit Home and nothing happens.
(Yes, I know about Ctrl-A, but Home is more convenient.) Bog standard
xterm in woody, TERM=xterm, blackbox for WM.

Solution: Add a line

XTerm*appcursorDefault: true

to /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients, then restart X.
