Different person, same problem. It _was_ working yesterday, then I upgraded
a bunch of (woody) packages and backspace stopped working. The Windows key
also stopped being usable as a meta.
I haven't looked at the FAQ yet, so I can't say whether it has information
useful to this particulat case, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that
something in one of the updated packages broke it. I suspect that this
indicates the existence of a broken package...
