I had to remove a few ancient lines in my .profile (I am a user of the old
ksh) for changing a couple of keys using
a keymap. To wit:
# xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
# xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = Delete"
# xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
As you can see I commented out those lines
and I regained the funcitonality I wanted.
Those keycodes were for an external keyboard
that died recently, and so the internal KB of
the DELL laptop was probably getting clobbered
in an unexpected way.
The xmodmap codes have been obviated by the settings
of the gnome-terminal's Edit -> Profile settings.
Thanx to all who tried to help.
