FWIW I've got:

Red Hat 7.3, XFree86-4.2.0-8, "aterm version 0.4.2 from 06 September
01", ncurses-5.2-26, current Emacs CVS.

If you press the [home] and [end] keys, what does C-h l say?
I get: 

linux console, aterm, gnome-terminal: 
H: ESC [ 1 ~
E: ESC [ 4 ~

xterm, konsole:
H: ESC O H
E: ESC O F

and the keys do the right thing in all of them.

infocmp linux, xterm, xterm-color : khome=\E[1~, kend=\E[4~

I now have no idea how any of this works... :)
