Is this on a new system, or did you upgrade from a KDE3 system? If the latter, 
you might have some KDE3 configuration files left over that could be 
interfering. I would delete .kde* from your home directory, to see if that 
makes any difference.

p.s. To find out if it is an x-window problem, just install a lightweight 
window manager like fluxbox. Try using konsole in fluxbox without the full 
KDE4 desktop.
