	Talking about keys under X, my iBook doesn't have a delete key
	(well, the key with "delete" label is actually a backspace
	under Linux, but I'd like to get a real delete when I'm typing
	things in Emacs).

	I have already tried

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
dumont:/home/rbrito> xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace Delete"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

	but shift+backspace doesn't work with some applications like
	xterm or rxvt or emacs (the application just beeps, instead of
	deleting the character below the cursor).

	The weird thing (and what makes it harder to understand the
	situation) is that shift+bs actually _works_ in mozilla (say,
	deleting urls).

	Also, the program xev says that shift+bs is working as a
	delete. And I get this, after I try setting my keyboard:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
dumont:/home/rbrito> xmodmap -pke | grep -i backspace
keycode  22 = BackSpace Delete
dumont:/home/rbrito> 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

	So, is this a bug or am I missing something?


	Thanks for any help, Roger...
