Right, but then there's another problem (at least for me). How would I change my Xmodmap so that gimp will do a delete-forward when I press my delete key? There would have to be at least one X key message that gets interpreted as such, otherwise modifying Xmodmap to get the old behaviour back would be impossible. I appreciate that on text terminals it's unavailable, simply because it does not make sense, but that does not mean that windowing systems should remain without delete-forward. It's the common way of doing things, and even if in theory it is wrong then one should ask whether to change the standard, try to change practice, or simply supporting both.
