Well, I figured that out but still want the backspace to work in 
xterm. I tried to put the following in my .xinitrc:

xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Delete"

but that caused x to immediately shut down whenever it started. 
Interestingly that still happens even if the lines are commented out.


I also tried to put this in my ~/.Xdefaults:

.XTerm.VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\
        	<Key>Delete:    string(0x04)

which is closer, sort of -- it causes both keys to generate ^d (which 
does not delete the character under the cursor, as many things I've 
seen say it does).
