I'm trying to set up RedHat 8.0 and ran into some difficulties. 

1. I can delete any icon from the desktop except for two. How do I get
   rid of trash and home?

2. Although DEL is mapped to "remove," the window manager catches it
   and instead pops up a window menu window. How do I kill that
   behavior and get the DEL key to delete?

3. Window stacking is tied to focus, so that the window on top of the
   stack is the focused window. I want to revert to my usual
   preference which is for stacking to be in order of window creation,
   so that what's on top is the newest window.

4. I want to configure xterm, but ~/.Xdefaults no longer understands
   statements such as 
              
              XTerm*Font: 7x13bold
              xterm -geometry 20x5-0-0 &

   Where now does one now define things like fn, bg, fg, etc.?

   Ideally I'd like to customize an xterm by which user invoked
   it. For example, if I issue the su - user command in an xterm, the
   xterm would use user's xterm configuraiton. As things now stand, I
   can achieve this only by creating a second xterm icon, and
   configure its xterm command to pass its own set of options to the
   xterm command.
