There are number of incompatibilities between konsole and xterm for
convience I'm listing them all here, lett me know if you want any in a seperate bug.

Alse see: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65067
Where some of this has already been discussed.

Key (esc) sequence incompatibility:
-Konsole by default sends ASCII DEL instead of CTRL-H (^H), which is
 the official xterm default.
-The ESC sequences send for home and end keys with modifier differ from those 
 send by the official xterm.
-The ESC sequences send for F1 - F12 with modifiers don't honor combinations
 of modifiers like xterm does, see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65067
-Konsole doesn't send distuingish between cursor keys, insert, page-up 
 and page-down without and with modifiers (alt, ctrl, shift).
 The official xterm has different ESC sequences for these keys with modifiers,
 like the F-keys have.
