I tried with tack (I don't have vttest), and IIRC, I found only one
problem. There are also problems with the numeric keypad, and also
the numeric keypad gives unknown escape sequences.

Done.

Well, http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard.html says that kbs=\177 and
kdch1=\E[3~ are the correct values. And currently xterm-color is
inconsistent with xterm (that has the above values as expected).
And both xterm-xfree86 and xterm-vt220 have kbs=^H, which is
incorrect too.
