Curious, can you give an exampe? TERM=xterm has always worked well for
me -- maybe it's a personal preference issue...

You could add 'export TERM=linux' to your shell init script (if using
bash; for [t]csh, use 'setenv TERM=linux'). Keeping it in your own user
scripts means that if I ever get a login on your box, my xterms will
work the way I expect. ;)
