The final missing bit is handling of the <del> key in the font size
combo. It looks like <del> keystrokes are intercepted by accelerator
handling in the menu code, rather than being passed thru
XAP_UnixFrameImpl::_fe::key_press_event(), so they are not passed down
the widget hierarchy.

Any advice whether/why moving <del> handling to XAP_UnixFrameImpl
would be good or bad is appreciated. I am not sure why and how this is
intertwined with the menu code.

Thanks,
Rob
