Odd isn't it.
I finally compared my /etc/X11/Xresources with the one from the
distribution. I had
*VT100.Translations: #override Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\
Home: string("\033OH")\n\
Just to followup on my own message, it's probably not a bug in xterm
because bo's xterm binary misbehaves identically when copied to slink.

What kind of keyboard do you have? On my 104 key ("windows 95")
keyboard, the "windows" key produces Meta and the Alt key produces Alt
when in X.

I had the same problem, I found a solution, it may not be the best
solution but it works for me.
I used xmodmap to make the backspace key work in the way you want.
check your keymap table for X (xmodmap -pke). If BackSpace is not in it
then add it using the command (xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackS

Thanks. But unfortunately, it _is_ already present!

I think I had this same problem and solved it after someone in IRC
(#debian) told me to disable XKEYBOARD extension (but I am not sure
this was the problem, though).
Try disabling XKEYBOARD in XF86Config...

Make sure the following is present in your /etc/X11/Xresources:
*Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta Delete: delete-next-cha
Hi, here I am agian.
I upgraded my system yesterday (OK to slink, but it appears the same problem
is present in hamm), and now my bacspace generates an delete again.
(in an xterm that is. Emacs (X11) and VC are OK)
