I don't know what the problem is, but I'll try to contribute.
First, you don't say where you see "^[".
Some programs use "^[" as a means of displaying an Escape character.
When you press "a" do you see just "^[", or is it followed by another
character? To really see what a key is generating, you might do this:
dane-2.cc> cat >/tmp/xx
abad
Control-d
dane-2.cc> od -x /tmp/xx
0000000 6261 6461 000a
0000005
You might have to create an alias for the cat command if you can't
type an "a".
If this is happening in a terminal window, which terminal program
are you using?
What do you have $LANG set to?
I'd guess part of the CDE initialization procedure is doing something
to your keyboard to make it work right.
