Is the Terminal app pretending to be xterm? IIRC, several years ago,
there was some differences between what xterm sent for some keycodes
and other terminal emulators that pretended to be xterm. I think it
was related to xterm improving the vt emulation and other programs not
keeping up while still setting TERM=xterm.
Anyway, for future references: If a terminal emulator sets TERM=xterm,
then emulate actual xterm. Other programs like gnome-terminal don't
count.
