These are difficult to get right.  I suspect that some of the fixes
recently submitted undid previous cursor positioning fixes.

I just inspected the code, and the logic for cursor positioning is
pretty sophisticated (read: appropriately complicated for speaking an
IBM protocol *grin*).  There *is* code there to handle all of the odd
cases, so it's that something is broken rather than unimplemented.

Can I get a couple of tracelogs here, with descriptions of where the
cursor should end up?  (email directly to jfelice@cronosys.com - don't
spam the list).
Remember, tracelogs contain your login password, so don't send it if you
aren't comfortable with that (or make a temporary user or something).

P.S.  As for the GUI issues mentioned, I hope the python bindings are a
step towards that.  I hope to rewrite gnome-5250 in python so that we
can add high level features easily.  I figure if binary size or memory
footprint is important, people won't be usingthe gnome/gtk+ versions
anyway.

P.S.S.  To the person who was having trouble with F11 - it's fairly
typical for your window manager to trap F11 to bring up a window menu or
something (WindowMaker and AfterStep both do, at least).  Check the
configuration of the window manager to make sure that it isn't stealing
the keystroke.
