So this has to be fixed upstream!?

Not over here but I use Woody mainly, only KDE2.2 small other things are from
unstable. But neither "\E[H" nor "\E[1~" works locally, although only the
latter works on a remote Potato.
Maybe there is one file that should be from unstable instead of testing. I
won't migrate to complete unstable dist just because of two keys in konsole.
Thanks for the good explanation, though :-)
I found a working thing for my konsole, though:
in .bashrc: export TERM=linux
sets it to "linux" instead of "xterm".
but this makes mc look veeery ugly and some other things do not work anymore.
Maybe one magic package has the wrong version.
xterm and Eterm are not working 100%, too. Alt-s for jumping through file
listing does not work there, neither does the mouse *grmpf* So I can decide
between Alt-s + mouse and Home + End. This is hard, really.
It seems that mc is the ultimate test for X terminal emulations.
The best way seems to be to switch to a real VC: just like a wonder,
everything there works.

My only way, well, see above.
