I'm not certain if I can describe this. I have the following in my ~/.inputrc:
C-p: history-search-backward
M-,: beginning-of-line
That's Control-p and Alt-comma bound to two separate actions. When I use xterm, these keybindings (and others I have set -- these are just examples) work exactly the way they are supposed to (ie: as defined in the readline man page ).
However, if I run them in aterm or Eterm, the first keybinding (using the control key) works fine, but the second one (using the Meta key) does not. I also tried it in rxvt on which these two terms are based. It seems like the alt key isn't being interpretted properly in these terms.
However, the default readline keybindings that use alt (ie: Meta-f for word forward) seem to work fine. What the hell is up with this?
I've tried setting various term variables, but didn't see any changes.
Also, the HOME key, when pressed in aterm, just displays a ~, but it works fine in Eterm.
I want a translucent terminal, but xterm is the only one that I can find that allows my preferred keybindings. :cry:

but strange is that my xterm doesn't work well either, it flipps out totally when trying out such things, weired,
