Yeah... reading (and messing with) this new stuff is an
education.
Actually, I was using KDE's "Konsole" term, not Gnome. With the
Gnome version of xterm, vi behaves as-usual; with Konsole, nope.
Unless I'm missing some fine print, I didn't see a way of fixing.
stty in Konsole says that things are correct--that backspace = ^H
and so on. It may be that the child proc doesn't inherit the
stty setting with thr KDE term whereas it does with Gnome's.
Solution:: go back to Gnome.
If anybody has other ideas, please lemmee know!
