Re: [Various] Backspace direction reversion

My argument against is simple. The failure mode is catastrophic in
exactly the same way that we wanted to fix when we first got into
this. There are keyboards in the mule lab that XEmacs is completely
clueless to deal with[1]. With them, the big key labeled "Delete" stops
deleting backwards and in order to get a delete backwards requires a
shifted keystroke.
If it is supposed to delete backwards, then `the big key labeled
"Delete"' should be generating the `Backspace' keysym, not the
`Delete' keysym.
It isn't our responsibility to work around X server misconfigurations,
IMO.
