shell in XFCE4 don't accept kinds of chars
 

hii, I am using Gentoo and XFCE4, and when I open the default shell there.
when pressing things like tab or "home" and so on, I get only ~ or strength things, How can I fix it so it will accept theses speical chars?
btw, in the text shell (not X) I have no problem.

Which terminal emulator are you using, do you get the same behaviour with others?

Well I am using the deafult one, any way it does accpet tabs, but not PGUP and so on from the numric pad, why is my numric pad is disabled??

And does it work in others than your "default one"?
xterm, aterm, eterm, rxvt, ... all show the same behviour?

echo $SHELL
return /bin/bash

when I use xtrem everything works good, So what can be the problem? also I have a strength slow down problem, when using XFCE4, sometimes when movin from one windows to other, until I am doint "alt+tab" for some time, and then it come back to life.
Any one?
:confused:

bash should recognize them. do the arrow keys work?

Your terminal emulator - which is why I keep asking you
what you're using. "The default" doesn't help much because
I a) don't use Xfce myself and b) even if I did I wouldn't have
a clue which modifications to what you think off as a default
your distribution may have done.

I haven't got the foggiest idea what you're trying to say here...

Ok, I meant that when I press in the numpad things like "home" or "pgup" and so on, it put ~ on screen, How to fix it up??

Please print the output of the following commands:
Also, while at a terminal, press Ctrl+v and then press one of the buttons that is not working. This should return a code. Please print those codes here as well, corresponding with the button(s) you pressed.
