Just a thought: maybe Konsole from Plasma 5 works better with its own terminfo definition? I'm still on KDE4 and can't easily test this. Would be great if someone using Plasma 5 could confirm this. I believe that Konsole from Plasma 5 was also rebuilt by Alien Bob to use TERM=konsole.
Hmmmm, now I'm wondering, are you connected at 110 baud? ;-)
Just wondering about the degree of real-world impact going back to that older xterm definition. If this is a case of things work vs. some kind of theoretical efficiency... well, usually I'll go with things working. On the one hand, it's a shame that the konsole definition doesn't seem to cut it with konsole itself. Konsole thinks that it needs the xterm definition (aka xterm-new), but due to the rep= part, the xterm definition doesn't work.
It leads me to wonder if there are other terms that will break with the new xterm-new definition.
110 baud? No, but I'm old enough to remember when I was (well ok 300/300), and the mindset sticks.
You'll probably save yourself a lot of trouble if you revert to how it was. As I said in the other thread, I wasn't expecting you to take the action you did. IMO what you've done is the more 'correct' solution and it's KDE who have made this mess by doing things the wrong way, but "correct" isn't always pragmatic.
Anyone who wants the newer more featureful xterm definition can always apply it themselves.
Seriously, revert it, this shouldn't be your problem to deal with.
afterthought: Of course, the problem with reverting and using a distro customised xterm definition is that it only fixes the issue within the scope of the local system. If one were to ssh into a debian or rhel, or other system then the terminfo definition on that host and not the local one would determine what capabilities get used and one of them could potentially be 'rep' which konsole doesn't support. I wonder what definitions other distro are using for TERM='xterm' or TERM='konsole'. What a mess!
Isn't XFCE supposed to come with a text editor like mousepad or leafpad? So I have a suggestion to include one or the other. Which one do you guys like better because I know there are both GTK2/3 versions of leafpad and mousepad (I'm aware of a GTK3 port called l3afpad and mousepad-gtk3). What do you guys think?

for xfce i use in other time mousepad , and its nice and light.
I think , some times , why when select install XFCE , kde are installed ? , i understand hard work to see libraries section , but kde and xfce are in two dufferent sections , i think installer can ignore when select one one , ignore the other.
