It's odd that there are five listed under settings, but only four files.
Anyway, inside the files you will find the name listed in the menu, preceded
by the keyboard keyword. I.e., a line in the "Linux Console" file would say:

keyboard "Linux Console"

Ok. I'm sorry I didn't explain it well. You also need to change the keyboard
"..." line in the file, so it says something like:

keyboard "Steve's Keytab"

Best bet is /opt/kde2/share/apps/konsole/README.KeyTab.

I still haven't gotten ctrl+arrow to work correctly, so I dunno how much
luck you'll have.
