Understood, although just about anything is preferable to Delete :)
Since Fn functions as a modifier, perhaps one of the Mod keys, e.g.
Mod5 might be a better choice.
As long as it can be distinguished from any other key, we can use
xmodmap to map it to whatever we want (e.g. Control_L for me).

xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+gb+inet(pc105)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
I get the same output regardless of whether X is started with or without
an external keyboard plugged in (is the external keyboard even
considered?).
Thanks,
Phil
