gnome-term Backspace

[koli]

Hi,

I use FC3 with GNOME. But I have problem in gnome-terminal, where when I run application that uses curses library my Backspace key stops working and except deleting the letters left to cursor writes escape sequence "^?". Inicialization of curses aplication uses following commands:

void tt_init(void)
{
    initscr();
    crmode();
    keypad(stdscr, TRUE);  
    cbreak();
    noecho();
    refresh();
}

for catching user inputs it uses

getch()

and for Backspace key is used curses constant

KEY_BACKSPACE

. In standard console or xterm it is working OK. Any suggestions? [/code]

What does your /etc/inputrc look like?
