Subject: xterm: XTerm*metaSendsEscape no longer working

Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

Hi,
the above is no longer working after an upgrade to the versions below.
Before that I could use: Alt-f, Alt-b to jump whole words forward or
backward in a bash running within xterm. This doesn't work anymore,
ESC-f, ESC-b still works though. Any ideas where to start digging?
Cheers,
 -- Guido

P.S.: I'm additionally using:
 keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L
to make the above work.
