Sorry about the lack of context: I am running a mix of the Debian
stable and testing distributions. XFree86 is version 4.0.3, Glibc is
2.2.3. My usual LANG setting is en_US.UTF-8.
I checked with LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 and thus a non-UTF-8 xterm.
Alt-Backspace still does not show the behaviour I was used to (which
would be the same as in Emacs). Alt-Backspace did delete the word
preceding the cursor in Debian's XFree86 3.x. I do not know whether
this is an upstream or a Debian change. My apologies if this is not
related to the xterm UTF-8 mode after all.
If you can offer a hint how to get the desired behaviour, many thanks.
And Pablo Saratxaga: I would also be much interested in your Compose
file; thanks for writing one.
