Has anyone found a way to re-activate the backspace key on the thin-clients? For some reason, that dad-burned problem is still here and it is affecting the entire desktop environment, including the login screen.
It seems to be an access-control issue, since root isn't prohibited from using the key at all, and I'm wondering where I should look to fix it. The strange thing is that all users can use the backspace key to correct their passwords, but not to correct their usernames. Once the correct username and password are entered, the backspace key becomes a waste of plastic.
I'd appreciate any ideas on where or what to check.
Is it working on a shell on a thin client ? If not you may want to check with "dumpkey".
Is the key mapped in X ? Use "xmodmap -pk" to see.

This was fixed, and Calvin fixed it, but I can't remember which file it was. I have emailed him and asked him to refresh my memory, or if he has time, to reply to this on the list.
We edited /etc/X11/Xmodmap and uncommented the line "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
