I have the same problem. I hate it. I want M-backspace (in Fortran
mode at least) to kill word just like it does everywhere else! (But
perhaps this is a bug created when the great Backspace vs Delete
change took place and Fortran was forgotten? I know that Fortran mode
used to work correctly.)
I don't know if it's a bug or a feature - but this is all because
XEmacs works differently from fsfmacs. Fortran-mode etc all define
"\e\C-h" in a local keymap, which on XEmacs overrides both M-backspace
and C-M-h. On fsfmacs it only overrides C-M-h (the intended
behaviour).
That means that you have to re-assign backward-kill-word explicitly to
M-BS if you also define C-M-h.
