The reason that the keypad works in xterm(1) is because xterm
specially maps it.  The default mapping doesn't map these keys.

To fix:  you need to set up a .Xkeymap file with the right things.
Once you have a .Xkeymap file (you can even copy the default keymap
and run keycomp on it), you can use the functions x-rebind-key and
x-rebind-keys to rebind specific keys.
