Whenever I run 'rip' the backspace gets re-assigned to whatever keycode the character '^H' is. This is run in xfterm4 (my wm is xfce4) and reproduced in xterm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 'rip' with whatever options you like (in xfterm4 if it matters). 2. Try to use the backspace to delete characters to the left of cursor, in the same terminal window (xfterm4). 3. N/A Actual Results: I can no longer use the backspace in what I would call a normal way (delete characters to the left of the cursor). Expected Results: It shouldn't change the backspace button behaviour.

I see the same problem in fvwm2.5.14-r1 with xterm, so it is not a problem with xfce .
