I do not use the gnome-terminal, but in my case the working string for
backspace in sup is ^h, while my terminals (all rxvt derivatives) sent
^? by default. From the large literature about the topic, I think that
other terminal settings could adjust the behaviour also with ^?, but
setting ^h has no negative side effect for me. So look in the
configuration of gnome-terminal for something like backspaceKey or
string...
