Hi, As discussed per email with timp, pbrown and bero. This changes the xterm terminfo entries for F1-F4 and F12-F24 from the VT100 to the VT220 esc sequences, making terminfo match with: rxvt, Eterm and konsole. And more important, once xterm and gnome-terminal are matched too. Restore compatibility with apps with hardcodes VT220 esc-sequences like vim and ntsysv. The attached patch is a replacement for the old ncurses-5.0-fixxterm patch.
Created attachment 88 [details] Fix for the described problem
Thanks, fixed.
