Now I'm wondering, what is x5250 missing that tn5250 does?  I would really
like to get release 0.5 out that is feature complete with tn5250 0.16.4.

Do you mean 0.16.5? (Why would you be trying to be compatible with an old
release of TN5250?)

Right now the only thing that comes to mind is key remapping which I'm
saving until after x5250 0.5.

Yeah, that has to be done in the windows version as well.  We really
should try to sync-up x5250 and the windows version.  It'll confuse people
if the two behave significantly differently.  When someone thinks of a
piece of software having "X11" and "Windows" and "Console" support, they
expect it to work pretty much the same way in all three of those versions.

We should identify which features work differently and figure out how to
make them (at least from teh user's perspective) work the same way.

It's not the software that's free; it's you.
