When running in a tty, you don't get to choose: The `return' key sends a C-m
and that's all Emacs will ever see.

When running under X11, Emacs can indeed tell the difference.  The `return'
key is mapped to C-m via function-key-map, so all you need to do is to bind
[return] explicitly to a command like `newline' and the mapping to C-m will
not happen:

  (global-set-key [return] 'newline)
