That damb^H^H^H^H delete key :)

Put the following in: /etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
(the file may not exist)
------------------------

!
! Delete & BackSpace support
!
keycode 107 = Delete
keycode 22 = BackSpace
!
! Home & End support
!
keycode 97  = Home
keycode 103 = End


It should solve all your problems :)
Cheers,
