Does libvte actually support the focus-in/focus-out events and is it
just xfce4-terminal that does not handle them?

What is old?  My xfce4-terminal is version 1.0.4, and links against
libvte-2.91.so.0.6800.0.  Version 0.68 of libvte does not seem old.


On an up-to-date Manjaro system, xfce4-terminal is version 1.1.0 and
links against libvte-2.91.so.0.7400.0.  There the behavior is worse:
when Alt+Tabbing to another window and back, nano acts as if ^O was
typed, receiving the sequence 1B 5B 4F 1B 5B 49 twice.  :/

With the vte-2007, vte-2008, and vte-2012 terminal descriptions this
and the other problem do not occur.

Anyway, doing `infocmp -I -x vte-256color > nwvte`, editing that file
to delete the "1004;" and renaming the description to "vte-256good",
and then running `tic -x nwvte`, a new terminal description is created
in ~/.terminfo/v/.  (Mentioning this just to document for myself how
to do this.)  Using TERM=vte-256good, nano now of course works fine
on an Xfce Terminal.
