Hackintosh: How to stop mapped 'delete' key from reverting?

[G]

Hi All,

I am using Ukelele on a dell mini 9, and the layout is quite unusual,
and so to achieve something maclike I have had to map the 'delete' key
to the 'minus/underscore' key, which works well for several/many
applications, but for some, such as skype or camino, it reverts to its
original functionality of a 'delete key'. I have checked and ensured
that the modified key layout is selected, and confirmed that it only
happens with this key an no other!

Any ideas as to how I can even start to debug this problem? or any
ideas as to the cause?

Thanks
G

This is a problem with the applications. They look at the key code that
you press, not what you've assigned it to be. All that can be done is to
complain to the developers of the applications. Sorry!
