Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal

With xmodmap, I defined:

keycode 100 = Left 0x0001

so that when I press Shift+Left, I get a Ctrl-A character.
Indeed xev says:

KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001,
    root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2207921486, (89,65), root:(348,250),
    state 0x1, keycode 75 (keysym 0x1, (no name)), same_screen YES,
                           ^^^^^^^^^^
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  ""

and this works without any problem in xterm, rxvt, mlterm and emacs.
But gnome-terminal does nothing.
