Bug Description
I maintain x3270, and one of my users reported this issue. I isolated it to somewhere in the X11 libraries, and it does not happen on the latest Ubuntu.
When you create an Xt translation table that tries to map the 'backslash' key, it doesn't work -- the entry is simply ignored. Other entries in the same table work just fine.
Here is an example:
xterm -xrm '*VT100*
If I run this on Ubuntu, then when I press "a", I get the string "foo", and when I press "\", I get the string "bar". But when I run this on Linux Mint, the backslash mapping does not work -- when I press "\", I just get "\".

I see this bug here using Mint 8 Helena x64 using x3270.
