Not really an "X11 solution" but... I usually fire up screen(1) inside my xterm windows and set TERM=vt220. This seems to work like a charm both on the console and under X. Home, End, DEL or other keys work fine then :) The only side-effect is that I need to bind [find] and [select] in my .emacs instead of [home] and [end], but that's a small cost to pay for having it work in all the programs I usually run. - Giorgos
