What version of xjed are you using? In 0.99.16, x_set_keysym() 
works only for keysyms in the range `0xFF00' to `0xFFFF'

So, it should work with the newest jed version...

However, you can change the key string of Return, BS, and Tab as their
keysym is in the supported range.

I. e. Let <Return> return Key_Return and bind it to newline-and-indent (or
whatever you like) and use ^M for something else.

The problem is, that some modes and emulations might bind ^M to something
important. As it is a very common binding, be carefull to have a spare
xjed session open to be able to recover.

I have done this for xjed and it is available at Jedmodes as
http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/mode/x-keydefs/

Because of backwards compatibility, remapping of Tab, BS, and Enter is not
done (but Esc is mapped to \e\e\e, assuming you can use Alt as Meta key).
