Very strange! All a terminal application 'sees' are the
printable chars and escape sequences that konsole generated.
And for home/end konsole you wrote that the same escape sequence
are the same. Confused!

default.Keytab the default is compiled into konsole that there
is no default.Keytab is no problem.

Nevertheless it proves that it it not bug in the konsole code,
just a misconfiguratin somewhere ;)

I miss the most important info: output of cat<return><home><end> in the xterm.
Replacing <home>-, <end>- sequences that xterm emits in your favorite *keytab
should fix your Home/End Key problem you have with konsole.
If this does not help, please give an example so I can try here. I'm using
testing+XF 4.1+KDE2.2.1 and have access to a remotehost (no Xserver) with
stable+XF3.3.6+KDE2.1.[12].
