Or are there other reasons? and what is the TERM=screen.xterm supposed to do? I think, screen.konsole was similarly broken. /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen.xterm comes from the terminfo-screen rpm from the ncurses srpm. But OTOH it is still bad to set TERM=screen.xterm by default when my remote machine does not have the file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
