Xterm problem

[ljensen39]

My small business is running a Linux based admin/accounting system on a server, accessed from three Linux work stations. All machines, including the server, run Fedora 9. The problem is when accessing the admin system from a work station, using Xterm. The Function keys do not map correctly. Letters and numbers work OK.

Anyone have an idea where we should look for a fix?

PS. When accessing the admin system using ssh from the command line, everything works fine.

What comes to mind is that for quite a while, Red Hat had overridden the translations resource with function-key bindings that didn't match xterm. I don't recall if Fedora 9 was the last of that. There was some discussion hereRed Hat bugzilla #122815 though that's older than Fedora9. It's easy to see if that's related, since "appres XTerm" would show a lot of function-keys defined in the translations resource. Current Fedora dropped that, and the "only" nuisance with the current package is that it's using the default for "backarrow", which makes your backspace key send the opposite of what's needed. (It's configurable though).
