Hi all.


  I've just upgraded my notebook to SL 4.4 (from 4.3) and it looks like
there is some difference in keyboard or '[x|u]term' config.   Until SL 4.3,
up from 4.0, I had no problem in using CLI as usual.   After the upgrade
I noticed some weird behaviour.

  The first one was during a 'vi' edit when hitting backspace key I got
those "^?^?^?" (roubouts) in place of the usual destructive backspace.  In
'[x|u]term' prompt I got :

$ stty
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
erase = ^H;
-brkint -imaxbel

I don't know what changed, if the "erase" setting or the generated
charcode.   I know that a 'stty erase ^?' in personal profile takes care
of it, but some one can get troubled by this.

  Another difference was in Mutt.  I use "home" and "end" keys to navigate
to top (first-entry) or bottom (last-entry), but now those keys seems to
be generating different sequencies as I only got the message "Key is not
bound." error.  This can be "fixed" with the following in '~/.muttrc' :

bind generic "\e[1~" first-entry # bindings for compensate SL 4.4 config
bind generic "\e[4~" last-entry


  These problems seems to show up onlu with '[x|u]term', as
'gnome-terminal' and 'konsole' sets erase to rubout as usual.   Even the
"home" and "end" key works ok in these.
