My solution was to rip the code out and substitute a version that used XKeysymToString() to generate codes of the form ESC [ ~ which are predictable and match the names other X11 things give those keys (notably xev). Since x11term.c has escapes in it, I can't post context diffs; people with anonymous ftp can grab my hacked x11term.c from snow.white.toronto.edu [128.100.2.160], or you can contact me and I'll mail a uuencoded patch. From what I hear, this problem is fixed in version 19. -- "I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world."
