That's an interesting new behavior I haven't seen, yet.
libcurses, I guess?

Well, with this line, CenterIM was at least displaying everything the way
it was meant (on my machine, that is).

I just downloaded, compiled and installed CenterIM 4.22.7 from
centerim.org . The behavior is just the same as with the pkgsrc-version
AND the INCOMPAT_CURSES-line, meaning everything that works is displayed
properly, but the keys are not responding as one would expect, in the very
same way as before.

I used this command to configure CenterIM before running make:

./configure --with-ssl --without-libjpeg

and this is the ldd-output:

/usr/local/bin/centerim:
