You'll find if you log into a text console (ALT F1, F2 etc), $TERM should be linux. However konsole and others in 'X' are set to xterm so something is being set as X loads. I couldn't find xterm in any of the /etc/env.d files, so its not being picked up there anyhow. -- We shall take only the greatest minds, the finest soldiers, the most faithful servants.
