I tested with xterm as well when I closed the report, and it did not work (as I expected) - make sure that you don't have Konsole running before you do the test.  

There are two screens in the terminal.  The default one which is scrollable and where most output will appear.  The alternate one is used by applications such as Vi, mc and cgdb.  The alternate screen is not scrollable.

GNU Screen uses the alternate screen by default, which isn't scrollable in Konsole, xterm or gnome-terminal (I have not tested rxvt).  

See this GNU Screen FAQ, and specifically the entry "Q:	My xterm scrollbar does not work with screen."

The same trick should work in Konsole.
