To get backspace to work during an X-session started by root, copy .xinitrc from the templates directory (the default location is /System/Users/Template/.xinitrc) and copy it to /root or create a file in /root called .xinitrc and put this in it:

  #!/bin/sh
  # $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then xrdb -merge $sysresources fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi
# start some nice programs #Fix backspace
xmodmap -e "keysym Delete = 0xFF08"
geo=`/usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo -display :0.0 | grep dimensions: | awk '{print $2}'`
geo=`echo $geo | awk '{split($1, a, /x/); a[1]=a[1] - 8; a[2]=a[2] - 98; printf("%dx%d", a[1], a[2])}'`
netscape -geometry $geo+0+25 & startkde
