Delete key and bash

Hi,
With FC3 I am seeing that pressing the delete (the key under insert,
i.e. not backspace) produces just a tilde at the command line with
either gnome-terminal or xterm running bash, but not tcsh. My
understanding is that the line in /etc/inputrc that reads
"\e[3~": delete-char
should set all programs using readline, such as bash, to use the delete
key to delete the character under the cursor. I have verified that the
delete key is returning the correct escape sequence using Ctrl-v
press-delete which returns ^[[3~, as expected. Any ideaas? Is this a bug?
Cheers,
Jonathan
