I did a fresh install of hamm and slink, including the above, and
backspace and delete work fine, but Alt-backspace in an xterm[-debian]
just does a backspace (instead of a meta-backspace, as it does (and
should) on a text console or in an Emacs window.)

Does Alt-backspace work for anyone in an xterm (deleting the previous
word on bash input, for example)?  This worked fine in Bo and before.
