I'm having the opposite problem. My backspace key works as DEL in GNOME 
dialogs and gedit, but fine in terminals (including GNOME terminal) and 
xjed. Is there a GNOME or GTK-specific key binding I can change, because 
I don't want to swap backspace and DEL in .xinitrc and break my working 
programs?
