Have not tried x11/rxvt, but if I switch to a text console or if I
exit Xorg completely back to a text-mode display, Ctrl-A works fine.
It's only within KDE/Konsole that Ctrl-A stops working for me.

I don't think I have any bash-specific key configs.

$ file ~/.bash*
/home/jim/.bash_history: ASCII text
$

Thanks for the reply!  Let me know if you think of anything else I
can test/verify/rule out.
