I suspect you mean Konsole (which uses Xterm)

NOTE: as you *don't* run real Debian the following may not apply.
It's part of konsole's default profile (it probably inherits from System
Settings/User/Paths by default).
$ cat ~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc | grep DefaultProfile
look at the DefaultProfile
eg.:-
$ cat ~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc | grep DefaultProfile
DefaultProfile=Shell.profile
$ cat ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile | grep Directory
Directory=
In the above example the default konsole profile (I use several)
start directory is ~
My Documents path is also ~.
Default is ~/Documents.
(KMenu => System Settings => About Me => Paths)
Kind regards
