Okay.  So I just discovered that RXVT issues that really long sequence instead of \Ec for RS1.  What a nightmare.

well... usually there's no hard reset (for xterm) since it's intentionally
emulating a VT220 (or higher).  A real hardware terminal would do odd things
like resetting the connection to the host; xterm imitates some of that by
a bell - not something that users like a lot.
