I wasn't aware that [(control ?\.)] was XEmacs syntax, I just copied
it from flyspell.el ...

What is the emacs way to bind C-. ? (kbd "C-.") ? 

It seems that using (kbd "C-.") works in my example. I'll fix xterm.el,
it uses [(control ?\.)].

I am not sure, I cannot reproduce it anymore, not sure what I did the
