How do I prevent delete-next-character warning messages when running Mathematica 5.x under the SuSE Linux 9.2 and 10 (64-bit) distributions?

Some users of the SuSE Linux 9.2 and 10 (64-bit) distributions have indicated that the following stderr dialog box may occur while starting Mathematica 5.x:

Warning: Actions not found: delete-next-character

This warning may be printed multiple times. Please follow these steps to prevent these warnings from appearing at startup.

1.

In SuSE 92, create directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. In SuSE 10 (64-bit), create directory /usr/X11R6/lib64/X11/app-defaults. In this directory, create a file called XMathematica that contains the following information:

 

Xmathematica*Text.Translations: #override \n\ ~Shift ~Meta ~Alt Delete: \n

 

XMathematica*AxeText.Translations: #override \n\ ~Shift ~Meta ~Alt Delete: \n

 

XMathematica*XmText.Translations: #override \n\ ~Shift ~Meta ~Alt Delete: \n\ ~Shift ~Meta ~Alt osfDelete: \n\

 

XMathematica*XmTextField.Translations: #augment \n\ ~Shift ~Meta ~Alt osfDelete: \n\

2.

Create a file in your home directory called .Xdefaults if it does not already exist and add the following lines:

 

!***************************************************** XMathematica*XmText.translations: !*****************************************************

3.

Execute the following command while logged in to your user account:

 

xrdb .Xdefaults

4.

Deactivate Num Lock which solves the backspace-delete case. For more information, see:

5.

Restart Mathematica.
