Rick: Thanks for responding. Curiously, my BACKSPACE key is a DELETE key on the system in question. On this machine (also slink), it is identical to yours (i.e. a BACKSPACE key). The 'xev' output for the former is:
At ve6cta, the BACKSPACE key generates KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 440073742, (170,167), root:(205,222), state 0x0, keycode 22 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "" KeyRelease event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 440073792, (170,167), root:(205,222), state 0x0, keycode 22 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "" So now the question becomes, where do I reset it?

What does xev show for the backspace key?
