it shouldn't require other settings (since it's built-in)
But a few of the things that can go wrong:
(a) override of the translations resource can interfere with the built-
in definitions (packagers sometimes do this)
(b) vim and mutt use the terminfo data (which should define the kcbt
value, viewable with infocmp).
If it were only vim, I'd point out that vim has an internal set of
data for terminals.
mutt could be using slang (and pointing to a termcap...) or
ncurses.
(c) some packagers have local patches to the terminal database (and
introduce problems).
