I never investigated which terminal emulation works better, I simply  
accepted the fact that terminal emulations do not support or allow  
all possible control-<some keyboard key> combinations – maybe it's  
because in ASCII there are just 32 control characters defined? I  
always thought I am more clever and use GNU Emacs as X client – where  
a lot more synthetic keyboard key events are possible.
