Currently the obvious

global_set_key("C-h", "backward-delete-char");

in ~/.qe/config does not suffice because C-h is a prefix for help keys. 
I guess the best way is to change the configuration of the terminal (it 
is both possible for rxvt and xterm). Note that using C-h as backspace 
is not the standard (in emacs C-h is also used for help, so the 
backspace key should return 127 in your terminal).
