><P
>The fixes suggested here should solve to a large extent the problem
	 of deleting text you wrote (however, they do not help in creating other
	 text <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>:)</TT
>).</P
><P
>There is a small bug in the whole setting: if you're using the
	 <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>COLORTERM</TT
> trick and you start
	 <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>xterm</SPAN
> from
	 <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>gnome-terminal</SPAN
>, the former will get
	 <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>TERM</TT
> set to <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>gnome</TT
>. This inconvenience is,
	 of course, mostly harmless, and does not occur if you simply started
	 <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>gnome-terminal</SPAN
> with <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>TERM</TT
> suitably
	 set.</P
><P
>Another nontrivial problem that essentially has no solution is the
    one concerning remote connections: if you connect to a host whose terminal
    database is incoherent with yours, you will have to set up things
    manually.</P
><P
>Finally, it should be noted that the fixes will not work for broken
	 applications (for instance, applications ignoring the
	 <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>kbs</TT
> key capability). There is little to do in this case,
	 as fixing for one broken application will likely break all well-behaving
	 ones.</P
