create a file called ~/.Xmodmap containing:
keycode   22 = BackSpace
keycode  107 = Delete

and check your X startup scripts to make sure the command
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
is being run from them.

You can also run it from within any xterm/rxvt/[...] so you don't need to
restart X to make the change take effect.
