Subject: Emacsclient over SSH switches behavior of C-backspace and C-delete
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 11:06:13 -0700 (PDT)

* Short description 

Emacsclient that is X-forward over SSH switches bindings for C-backspace and
C-delete.




* How to reproduce the bug

First, run Emacs with -Q option on.

$ emacs -Q &

Then evaluate the following to start server:

(require 'server)
(server-start)

Now ssh into localhost

$ ssh -X localhost

And start an emacsclient frame by running the following command from the ssh
session.

$ emacsclient -c &

Try C-backspace (originally bound to backward-kill-word) and C-delete
(originally, kill-word), you'll see their behavior is switched.


When I start emacs (rather than emacsclient -c) from the ssh session,
there's no problem.
When I run emacsclient -c without involving an ssh session, there's no
problem either.



* Workarounds

1. Stick to M-DEL and M-d, which aren't affected.


  
* System
