The problem can be fixed in the following way (based on the source rpm
file 'kdebase3-3.0.4-6.src.rpm').  Note that this is a 'quice-n-dirty'
solution (I don't even know how many conventions I'm breaking), but it's
easy, and it solves the problem for me .. It is now again possible for
me to use meta-B and friends for command line editing.  :-)

Here are the tiny patches:
