One thing to circunvect this problem (on xterm at least) is to add:
*xterm*backarrowKey: true
Or you can do a "xterm -xrm '*xterm*backarrowKey: true'" as well.
The funny thing is, I thought I tried this, but I couldn't get it to
work (I must have made a typo in the resource name).
And now I can name the culprid for the problem, and it is the xterm
package.
The file:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
on 4.4 has some VT100 extra lines, including these one:
! keyboard setup
*VT100*backarrowKey: false
Excellent detective work! I'll check what this file looks like on
our systems at work (which are still running CentOS 4.3) when I get
back into the office on Tuesday.
This e-mail is bouncing all around cause I was writing it as I tested.
I decided to leave it as such, since most people around don't
understand
about X Resources, and this could provide some interesting pointers
for
learning.
I used to be an X-Windows developer, so I am very familiar with
resources, but I had forgotten where the default resources are kept.
