This only happens when I'm running X as root.  If I run X as a user, the
backspace key works as it's supposed to.  As far as I cantell, they are
both set up the same way?  anyone had this problem?  I'm using KDE under
RedHat 5.1 (2.0.34)

Can't say about the configuration.  In root's .profile, just add:
  stty erase ^H
and you should be fine.

Alternatively, you can add the line:

XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^H

To your .Xdefaults, or

*ttyModes: erase ^H

to the global /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm  file. KDE's kterm is a modification
of rxvt, which is supposed to honor all XTerm resources.
