--- Comment #11 from David Given <dg at cowlark.com> ---
I've just run into this (and figured out what was going on after a lot of
digging). There are, AFAIK, two issues:

(a) konsole doesn't support redefining colours, which is fine, it's allowed not
to (although it's annoying).
(b) konsole's default TERM is xterm-256color, which claims that konsole _does_
support redefining colours. This is not fine, as it means that ncurses programs
thinks it can and so don't work properly.

If nothing else, I think the default TERM should be switched to
konsole-256color, which is more accurate. Although, then colours frequently
don't work at all. Ideally konsole would be updated to support this.
