Not trying the revive this question, but I do have one question:

If I use mutt from inside xterm, the default key for previous-line is
Backspace, and Del doesn't do nothing, but if I use it from inside
gnome-terminal, it works the other way around, ie, Backspace doesn't do
nothing and Del goes to previous-line.

I know the problem is with gnome-terminal, so the question is how do I
change the default binding of DEL in gnome-terminal? I've browse through
/usr/share/doc/gnome-terminal, but that's a dead end :-(

Thanks.
