[Bug 525300] Re: backspace in vim started from xterm gives ^?

[fotonowy]

Workaround from my friend:

Add

t_RV=

in your .vimrc file. Notice that there is nothing after the "="
character. This will prevent vim from sending special quaries to xterm.

Bug description:
The immortal problem with fault backspace in vim is back with a new twist.
When vim is started from xterm the backspace produces ^? in the INSERT mode instead of deleting a preceeding character.

The only way to fix that is to manually
:set t_kb=^?
in vim every time the program is started. 
 
When the t_kb variable is set in $HOME/.vimrc it is ignored.
I mean, no matter what I put in .vimrc the :set t_kb in vim returns ^H. 
This is why the standard fixes (like fixdel) don't work here.

stty in xterm returns
erase = ^?
