You are absolutely correct. The irony here is that it is a small problem with a big effect. OpenSolaris is trying so hard to be Linux that it hurts. But the main audience is not Linux switchers who might have used gnome-terminal before. And the non-functional pgup/pkgdown keys is invariably the first complaint I hear from those people who actually do sit down to try OpenSolaris (it was mine too, btw). I fail to understand why this simple change has not found the way into JDS/OpenSolaris. Sun could change the first user reaction from "they can't even configure the terminal correctly" to "feels just like home" in an instant. Sigh.
