If you believe in what /etc/termcap says then

gnome|Gnome terminal:\
        :ut:\
        :k1=\EOP:k2=\EOQ:k3=\EOR:k4=\EOS:kD=\177:tc=xterm-color:

so these are four extra keys plus "ut", which I cannot find on a man
page, and otherwise 'xterm-color'.  Unless, of course, termcap
and terminfo entries are out of sync. Hm, 'infocmp gnome' output
indeed seems to be shorter than 'infocmp xterm' while
'infocmp xterm-color' is the smallest of all three.  I am not
patient enough in this moment to compare capabilities one by one.
Still they look quite similar.  Surprise!  You were using
TERM=xterm as of a few days ago.

BTW -
$ man -k 'terminfo description'
sh: /unsafe/: No such file or directory
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command /unsafe/ exited with status 32512.

Eh???  man -k 'terminfo' does not have troubles.
