Everything here except the Linux console reports 'xterm' and still there
are differences. :-/
I guess the next question is how best to handle this? Could it be the
way your keyboard is configured? Is your right Alt setup as a 'Compose'
key?
There is also the 'xev' command that should report how the key is
recognized. Here I get:
KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x7200002,
root 0x136, subw 0x0, time 3366418307, (-154,42), root:(597,503),
state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

(each key press will also generate a KeyRelease event, but I did not
copy those stanzas as they're the same)
Note that each key is named as Alt_L and Alt_R.

That looks more like color theme differences. For example, Ubuntu has a
very different color scheme for Xfce Terminal than Debian. At this time
the keyboard is my focus.

Certainly, keep testing and playing. It's how we learn this stuff.
