: How can I get to work my delete-key as a delete-key?

This is an annoying one..
you need to edit the keyboard map..

If your running RedHat.. go to ..

/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/

edit us.map

Go to the line that has 
keycode  14 = Delete           Delete

Change it to

keycode  14 = Delete           BackSpace

Reboot.. should be fine..

: When I start Xwindows with xfishtank as background,  I get the message
: couldn`t allocate enough colors when starting another program, like
: xpaint and then the other program won`t run. What can I do about this?

Simple.. your screen colours are being chewed up by fishtank..

Either run in a higher colour mode (-bpp 16) or don't run Fishtank..
or make fishtank use less colours.

: My mouse doesn`t work when I start Midnight Commander. How can I get
: it working?

Have you tried the Commander FAQ ?
