Thanks.  This fixes two of my favourite problems.

But there is a new one (at least I haven't seen it before).  If you
are using bash with readline and scroll up and down the line gets
filled with garbage.  One example (I use ^ to indicate the cursor):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drepper@myware xterm-140$ ^

PRESS UP

drepper@myware xterm-140$ show-ucs-data ~/ja_JP ^

PRESS DOWN

drepper@myware xterm-140$ s^

PRESS UP

drepper@myware xterm-140$ sshow-ucs-data ~/ja_JP ^

PRESS DOWN

drepper@myware xterm-140$ ss^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've also seen it with two characters getting added in each round.
This works with the plain xterm-140.


Still persisting are several other problems.  These are examples from
the bash command line with readline:

- type a few characters, then press cursor left.  Result: the first
  keypress seems to be ignored.  Later once are handled correctly.
  When reaching the second character on the line no further movement
  is possible (i.e., the characters are correctly transmitted to
  the readline library)

- type a few characters, then press backspace.  Result: the cursor moves
  one column to the *right* while inserting a space.

- when not the last character in the line, backspace has visually no
  effects at all.


The other effects I see are probably caused by a combination of those
I described here.
