On my system, I found aterm sent different sequences to gnome-terminal.
These settings work for me:

"\eOc": forward-word
"\eOd": backward-word

If that doesn't work for you, just type Ctrl-V Ctrl-Arrow at a
command prompt.  Bash will echo what it received using ^[ to indicate
an escape ('\e' in .inputrc).
