I don't know about the first problem, but the second is Linux, not Executor.
Both the backspace and the delete key are mapped to "Delete". If you use 
Mosaic you'll have the same problem. The solution is to remap the backspace
key:
xmodmap "keycode 22 = Backspace"
I think these are correct. You can use xmodmap -pke | less to view the 
current mapping. On mine, 22 is mapped to Delete. Backspace might be 
"BackSpace", or "backspace" you'll have to see.
