hmm - I've seen this sort of question often enough that I read it offhand
as did someone last August - that Randy wants to cancel the alternate
screen mode:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-August/019100.html

(I don't know what ca_mode might be, either)

But given your comment, and looking again at the patch, I notice that the
chunk without the cancels has the later timestamp:

Perhaps he wants to _have_ the alternate screen, which as I noted is
not present in the "xterm-xfree86" entry.  Then that would make the 
desired line

	:ti=\E[?1049h:te=\E[?1049l:tc=xterm-xfree86:

or 

	:ti=\E[?1049h:te=\E[?1049l:tc=xterm-new:

Setting the titeInhibit resource cancels those 1049's, but unsetting
it doesn't add them.
