When I invoked vim with various terminal settings such as:
$ vim -T dumb <filename>
$ vim -T vt100 <filename>
$ vim -T xterm <filename>
$ vim <filename>

I noticed different behaviors.  I'd suggest trying various settings to see 
which works as you want it to.  It could just be that vim doesn't treat 
gnome-terminal or konsole the same as an xterm, whether by design or by 
omission.
