Does anyone know why the backspace key is now defined to send "del"
by default instead of ^H?  This changed between the 950210-SNAP and
the current sources.  Someone changed the keyboard mapping so that
the backspace key now sends del, and you have to use shift-bs, or alt-bs
(or whatever) to get an ^H out of it.  

Personally, I would rather have it send ^H, since my "del" key does a fine
job of sending "del" as input.

For now I'm setting my own keyboard map via kbdcontrol to set it back
to the way it was.
