I just did a quick check on the entry widget, and it appears to be using
backspace to delete the previous key.  That's consistent with this check
in entry.c:

               if (input == KEY_BACKSPACE)
                  --currPos;

Perhaps your keyboard is sending KEY_DC (delete).  More details on the
terminal and $TERM (and infocmp output) might help.
