Package: xterm
Version: 4.0.3-1
I just upgraded to this version from the recent 4.0.2 version, and
suddenly, when running bash in an xterm, or emacs, the alt-backspace
no longer does word-delete.
My /etc/X11/Xmodmap has:
keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete
and I don't think I've tweaked with anything else.

This was changed upstream in XFree86 4.2.0.
See /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us:
// definition for the PC-AT type 101 key keyboard
default
xkb_symbols "pc101" {
include "us(generic101)"
key <LALT> { [ Alt_L, Meta_L ] };
key <RALT> { [ Alt_R, Meta_R ] };
// begin modifier mappings
modifier_map Mod1 { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
};
// definition for the extra key on 102-key keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc102" {
include "us(pc101)"
key <LSGT> { [ less, greater ] };
};
// definition for the extra keys on 104-key "Windows95" keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
include "us(generic101)"
key <LALT> { [ Alt_L, Meta_L ] };
key <RALT> { [ Alt_R, Meta_R ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Super_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ Super_R ] };
key <MENU> { [ Menu ] };
// modifier mappings
modifier_map Mod1 { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
modifier_map Mod4 { Super_L, Super_R };
};
// defintion which includes both the Windows95 keyboards _and_
// the extra key on most European keyboards.
xkb_symbols "pc105" {
include "us(pc104)"
key <LSGT> { [ less, greater ] };
};
If you'd like the Windows keys to be Meta keys, you may be interested in the
new /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin file.
For instance,
partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "meta_win" {
key <LALT> { [ Alt_L, Alt_L ] };
key <RALT> { [ Alt_R, Alt_R ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Meta_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ Meta_R ] };
modifier_map Mod1 { Alt_L, Alt_R };
modifier_map Mod4 { Meta_L, Meta_R };
};
You could use the above with the following XKB settings, for instance:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win"
