bug#5696: 23.1; emacsclient misinterprets (?) keys on first use

[Paul Madden]

I start the emacs daemon as "emacs -Q --daemon" and then run "emacsclient -t 
file". The four cursor-movement keys, as well as page-up and page-down, seem to 
be misinterpreted if one of them is the first key pressed in emacsclient. For 
example, page-down inserts the text "6~" in the buffer if it is the first key 
pressed in emacsclient after the emacs daemon is started. The down arrow key 
causes the following message to appear in the minibuffer: "Font-lock mode will 
override any faces you set in this buffer". Right arrow says: "M-o C is undefined".

But if any of these keys is pressed a second time, it performs its expected
function (scroll-up, next-line, forward-char, respectively). Also, if a second
emacsclient is started, these keys function correctly at all times. But if
I kill and start a new emacs server, the first use of any of these keys again
appears to be misinterpreted.

If I kill the emacs server and then run a standalone emacs (e.g. emacs -nw file)
the keys work correctly at all times. They also work correctly at all times if
I use "emacsclient -c" instead of "-t".

I am using GNOME Terminal 2.28.1 in Ubuntu 9.10.

I would be greatful for any advice.

thanks,
paul
