This is probably the reason why after I started using AcceleratedX
my xterms broke ... or at least it's a place to start.

When I spawn an xterm now, kill is "#", erase is something nonstandard,
(I can't remember), and intr is "o". Not control characters, regular
ones. stty will fix all, but "#" will still kill, even though stty
thinks kill is ^U.

Any idea where _this_ comes from? I'd like to recompile xterm but
can't find source for it that will compile on linux.
