No kidding.. To get backspace back, hit and hold CTRL and then clink on Button 1 your mouse. You should get a menu. Select "Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)" and it should work again. But I don't know how to make it permanent :-[ For XTerm the config file is in /etc/X11/app-defaults/ Hope this helps a bit, Adam
