I'm using GNU emacs 20 with mule. In xterm and on console emacs gives me
what I consider to be proper behaviour. My BackSpace key on keyboard will
quote as '^?' and is described with 'describe-key as 'DEL runs the command
backward-delete-char-untabify'. My Delete key quotes as '^[[3~' and is
described as 'deletechar runs the command delete-char'.

However, when I run emacs in native X mode, both the BackSpace and Delete
keys behave as the BackSpace key, quoting as '^?' and describing as 'DEL
runs the command backward-delete-char-untabify'.

xemacs works 'correctly' in native X mode, but has a much larger
footprint.

So what do I need to do with GNU emacs to make it work in native X the way
I want it to?
