Delete key uncooperative on Sun 4 keyboard

Weird.  I'm trying to create a menu with an item whose accelerator
is Shift-Delete.  I have the following resources in my app-defaults
file:

*edit_menu*delete.labelString:              Delete
*edit_menu*delete.mnemonic:                       D
*edit_menu*delete.accelerator:                    Shift<Key>Delete
*edit_menu*delete.acceleratorText:                Shift+Del

This behaves strangely on the Sun type 4 keyboard.  The "Del" key
on the numeric keypad works, but the "Delete" key in the main key
area does not.

This is in spite of the fact that xev shows the "Del" key is
producing KP_Decimal when shifted, and the "Delete" key is producing
Delete (as it should).

In fact, I get the same results if I take the "Shift" out of the
accelerator.  The "Del" key works and the "Delete" key doesn't.

Has anyone seen this before?  Is there a fix?

Thanks very much,
