I'm glad I finished reading the thread before replying, because I was
about to say, "ACK!  WTF you doing with black-on-white xterms?!?!" ;)

As for Konsole, there's some stuff about it I like, but it has issues like,
"How do I set the terminal type every time I start a Konsole?" so I can get
color in my applications?  (and no, there is no command line argument to
give it a terminal type, nor any preference/setting that I can find, nor
any reference to it on the KDE web site, nor elsewhere that Google can
find given my search terms...)
