I cannot get my numeric keypad to work with Mutt.  Here's my
environment:

I run Mutt 1.4-2 in gnome terminal, provided by gnome-core-1.4.0.4-54.
My editor is vim 6.1-2.  I start vim with this command:

set editor ="vim +/^$ +'set nobackup'"

The numeric keypad works correctly within gnome-terminal (e.g. writing
code), works fine within mutt, if run from xterm or rxvt.  However, if I
edit with vim, within mutt, run in a gnome-terminal, the numeric keypad
does not work correctly.  For example, I press the number 1 on the
keypad, I get the letter q inserted above the current line.

I tried tracking a thread in the archives on this topic, but it was
beyond my ability to follow.  However, I can report the my $TERM is set
to xterm.

mutt -v produces the following:

It is the stock compilation provided by Red Hat with release 7.3.

Any help much appreciated.  I want to stay with gnome-terminal because
of the way it handles urls.

TIA
