Problem with Backspace and Delete (fwd)

[Wilhelm Person]

I have problems with Backspace and Delete keys when I use XFree and Cygwin
to connect to a remote Red Hat box.

In the terminal window that I did "ssh -X user@host" from, everything
works, but if I make a new xterm Backspace and Delete just print
tilde-chars instead of erasing.

If I connect to a Solaris box every thing works just fine.

I use xmodmap to get a Swedish kayboard layout

How do I get Backspace and Delete to work in new xterms on a Linux box?
