No. You misunderstand.
1. I fire up my X session which starts up fvwm2
2. I launch a xterm with my desired VT100 translations.
3. In my shell, (ksh), I press CtrlV, Right
I get ^[OC which is what I have in my VT100 translations.
4. I have the following line in my .fvwm2rc to iconify any window
Key F8 A N2 Iconify -1
5. Using this, I press F8 to minimize the xterm
6. I click on the xterm icon in the winlist to de-iconify it
7. I do step (3) again.
This time, I get ^[[C instead of ^[OC
Note that vim, slrn, mutt, etc are not even invoked during all this.
So, what I am saying is that, using keyboard-based accelerator keys to do
_anything_ in Fvwm somehow screws up things. The above is empirical
evidence. I dont know enough about Fvwm internals to figure out why it is
happening, but happening it is.

I dont understand. Mind elaborating? Note that as I point out above, Vim
doesnt even come into the picture for things to get screwed up.

Yes, I am referring to mouse clicks in a xterm that Vim reads. Indeed, it
does sound like a terminfo problem, but I doubt Vim has anything to do with
it. I cant understand why the keycodes that my keys/mouse sends out would
be changed by any application, though!
Thanks for your help. Hope we can get to the bottom of this.
