I had already given up trying to reproduce this but then I got it too. This problem seems to be a specific xterm problem: 1) Make the settings above. 2) Start an xterm. 3) Follow the procedure above. ==> Problem is there. 1) Start an xterm. 2) Make the settings above. 3) Follow the procedure above. ==> everything is fine. Use rxvt, aterm, Eterm or wterm instead of xterm and it works all the time. It seems that xterm looks at the key combinations that are grabbed on its window by some other application upon startup and ignores them even after they are unbound. Let me think about this.
