I'm not that sure its busted out-of-the-box ... my delete key works just fine in gnome-term and xterm running in a gnome-desktop started from gdm out of runlevel 5 using the prefdm mechanism. INPUTRC is set and as far as I can tell reading through the prefdm logic... /etc/profile gets called exactly once inside the /usr/bin/gdm script, assuming the test -f /etc/profile succeeds. Sounds to me like someone has made a local change to the script logic either in prefdm or in /usr/bin/gdm -jef"this explains why /usr/bin/gdm is a script just to setup /etc/profile before starting gdm-binary"spaleta
