Emacs works differently within X and outside
I am running emacs 20.7-2 and xfree 4.0.2/kde2.1beta2 on a Debian
potato system
If I run emacs in a console, or over an ssh link (which appears like a
console in an xterm) then BKSP and DEL work according to Debian
policy. (ie BKSP deletes character to left of cursor, DEL deletes
character at cursor).
If I run emacs so that it creates an x-window to run in then the
behaviour is different. In this case DEL and BKSP both work the same
and delete the character to the left of the cursor).
I don't like this latter behaviour and I believe it shouldn't work
like this according to the Debian policy. However, I have spent ages
trying to find out how key behaviour is controlled here and I can't.
Any ideas?
