That's really not normal. The last time I saw that sort of error was
when the user's ~/.gnome* directories got whacked.

Probably.

CTRL-H -> DEL is simple, "stty erase <press del key>"

I don't recall, but was this an upgrade or a fresh install? I now have
two machines up on FC5, an Athlon-64 (See http://lon-64.ora-code.com) laptop with ATI graphics and an
Athlon with nVidia (the nvidia thing was a right bitch to get working)
but neither exhibit that problem. Note that they were both fresh
installs--not upgrades. The laptop/ATI seems quite stable, the
Athlon/nVidia hasn't been up long enough nor flogged hard enough for me
to determine its stability yet. It's running washing machine tests
right now and I should know more tomorrow.
