Normally, <backspace> and <delete> both generate DEL, and DEL (\177)
is bound. Binding <backspace> or <delete> overrides that generation
of DEL.
In my .emacs, I have (global-set-key (kbd "<delete>") ...), but _no_
line for (kbd "<backspace>"). I think you should let at least one
key to generate DEL -- many useful bindings exist for DEL in many
modes.
All of the above applies to Emacs, dunno about XEmacs. But I think
DEL is also used there.
