I have the lines
XTerm*loginShell: true
XTerm*eightBitInput: true
in my .Xdefaults file together with set +o emacs-usemeta in my .profile.
Those bind statements are in my .kshrc, set differently for each terminal:

if [ -o interactive ]; then
        case "$TERM" in
        vt220)
                bind '^[[3'=prefix-2                # DEL
                bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward        # DEL
                ;;
        wsvt25)
                bind '^[[3'=prefix-2                # DEL
                bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward        # DEL
                ;;
        xterm*)
                export TERM=xterm-color         # force color
                bind '^XH'=beginning-of-line    # Pos1
                bind '^XF'=end-of-line          # End
                ;;
        nxterm)
                bind '^XH'=beginning-of-line    # Pos1
                bind '^XF'=end-of-line          # End
                ;;
        *)      ;;
