Try the following. It's better, in some sense, than using xmodmap to
change the meanings of the backspace key. Sometimes, you don't want
that at all.

Create a file called .motifbind in your home directory with the
following contents:

! Modified to switch the meanings of backspace and delete
!
! Sun Motif 1.2.3
! Virtual Key Bindings
!
! "Sun Microsystems, Inc."
osfActivate : <Key>KP_Enter
osfCancel : <Key>Escape
osfHelp : <Key>Help
osfMenu :Shift <Key>F10
osfMenuBar : <Key>F10

osfLeft : <Key>Left
osfUp : <Key>Up
osfRight : <Key>Right
osfDown : <Key>Down

osfBeginLine : <Key>Home
osfEndLine : <Key>End

osfPageUp : <Key>Prior
osfPageDown : <Key>Next

osfBackSpace : <Key>Delete
! osfDelete : <Key>Backspace

osfInsert : <Key>Insert
osfUndo : <Key>Undo
osfAddMode :Shift <Key>F8
osfCopy : <Key>SunCopy
osfCut : <Key>SunCut
osfPaste : <Key>SunPaste


I suspect the important one is the osfBackSpace entry. This change
will apply to all Motif apps, but none of your other apps.
