I think that KDE has reached a point where we should prefer beeing consistant 
to ourselves over beeing consistant with the products of some company.
Ctrl-Enter is the most natural choice for KDE users because kmail supports it 
for a long time. 
When one writes a message, Enter means new line and Ctrl-Enter means send 
message.
The ICQ Implementations (for Linux) I know also use Ctrl-Enter. Why do we even 
discuss this?

Greetings,
Klas
