The following solution is quite interesting! As an unexpected
side-effect, it also fixed the odd behavior of vi(m) in insert mode,
which annoyed me quite a lot. The sympton was that when you use arrow
keys in insert mode, it gives you ^B, ^C instead of cursor moves. Now,
with "XTerm*backarrowKey: false" in ~/.Xdefaults, the behavior of
arrows is regularized.
N.B., entry "XTerm*..." in .Xdefaults is different from "xterm*...", if
I'm not mistaken. The former specifies the generic behavior of xterm,
aterm, rxvt, for example, whereas the latter is specific to xterm.
Thanks for a nice tip!
