Just a shot in the dark (and because I didn't see any other replies),
check the value of $TERM from within Eterm ("echo $TERM"). If it's
"Eterm", then that might be causing some problems.
Try starting Eterm with "Eterm --term-name xterm-color" to see if that
fixes the problem. The term name can also be set in the theme config file
(look for the line that starts with "term_name").
Hope this helps.
