	Sounds entirely rational.  Because here and with CTWM I have
	simple xterms; on my "new tao" runnning Gnome as a manager, I use
	Konsole.  Entrely to get the BEL in vi/nvi.  

	I find that if I use Settings -> Keyboard and then select 
	"FreeBSD Console", I come fairly close.  Then [Backspace] 
	backs up, but the characters are not erased as I space 
	backways.  UsingTerminal, it defaults to this.

	Anther indicator thata Garrett is right is that by doing an
	"ssh -X tao", X gives me 

X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  100 (X_ChangeKeyboardMapping)
  Serial number of failed request:  7
  Current serial number in output stream:  12
q3 20:06 <tao> [5032] 


	If this gives annybody a clue, I'd be much obliged for some
	insights.  .....
