With XFree86 4.1 and ncurses 5.2, the back-tab key and all the
function keys just work, with the standard "xterm" terminal type.  All
that my Debian package does for xterm is use the following XTerm file
for a few convenience key combinations.

xt5250*VT100.Translations: #override \n\
         <Key>Scroll_Lock: string("\033H") \n\
         ~Shift<Key>Print: string("\020") \n\
          Shift<Key>Print: string("\003") \n\
        ~Shift<Key>Escape: string("\001") \n\
         Shift<Key>Escape: string("\003") \n\
           <Key>Control_L: string("\022")
