I altered the keybar by adding a bar and greater symbol.
[Tab,Escape,bar,greater,Page_Up,Page_Down]
[Tab,Esc,|,>,PgUp,PgDn]
But then a strange situation - the marking arrow on right side of keybar has disappered!
Just to be sure, I reboot device, but still the same.
Only when I make fullscreen and then un-fullscreen does the arrow appear.
Anyone can confirm this problem? Or is it only me?

I made a few 2-letter scripts to control the xterm keys bar, at:
http://sam.nipl.net/code/n900-x/
fs - fullscreen - hides the keys bar
tb - toolbar - shows the keys bar
kd - Tab Esc PgUp PgDn - keys default
ks - Esc < > | ^ % ~ - keys shell (I use ctrl-i for tab)
kc - | { } [ ] < > - keys C (ctrl-c in vim acts like Esc)
kb - Esc [ ] < > | % - keys brace (or python)
kv - Tab < > | dn up cr - keys virtual - (for shell with virtual kbd)

Thanks for the thanks, and thanks to everyone else who's been working on this! A bit more about my keybar scripts, I made one for each of my major use cases: shell, C, python, virtual kbd. Where I need more symbols than would fit, I got rid of Tab, Esc, PgUp, PgDn, which are less important for me, and can largely be emulated with other key presses (ctrl-I, and ctrl-C, ctrl-U, ctrl-D in vim). I commonly use ctrl-I even on a normal kbd as it seems a bit less of a stretch than Tab. I don't remember that anyone else was removing those Tab, Esc, PgUp, PgDn key bar buttons, so this is a bit different. I was able to fit all the major extra symbols I need for C and shell programming onto the key bars, except % for C's printf. I'm happy enough to press "Sym" a pick that off the symbols popup! I guess I'm keen to get the keyboard working as well as possible because my laptop recently died so I've been coding a lot on the phone

That might break a whole lot of other things though, or need smaller icons.
I'm sure Xterm can be recompiled with modified features... the joys of FOSS.

It would be neat to have new xterm package with configurable toolbar (keys and visibility toggle) in meamo extras repository. I am guessing that sending patches to Nokia will not lead to a new osso-xterm package in any sane time.

I couple other things, I didn't put backtick ` on my shell keybar because we can use $(foo) in bash, and that's nestable too. Here's the code from my scripts:

hi
for the once facing the problem when beeing in real full screen (no top and bottom bar) here a short cut:
get yourselfs xbindkeys and wmctrl for n900 and create a file .xbindkeysrc in your home dir.
from .profile start xbindkeys and shortcut shift+enter toggles top bar on/off
---------.xbindkeysrc--------
"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen"
shift + KP_Enter
----------------------------------
ps: works for all applications - great for rss reader - anyway did not figure out a place to autstart it. i tried to start from system profile but it does not work. so for now i open xterm once and it works - here it calls xbindkeys via .profile file.
have fun

Friends,
Does anyone know how to add "Control C" to the bar?

Or did you need it for something else that this wouldn't work for?
