I missed this discussion, but now (FC3t1) konsole sets TERM to konsole
and when you type a very long line it is trying to hide the start on the
left ant show '>', but in fact it leaves the previous line as it was and
starts a new one. When you try to move back and reach the start of the line
you get an extra messy line every character you scroll... ssh-ing anywhere
results in nonfunctional keys (F1..F4 at least) and even 'Error opening
terminal: konsole.'. Pressing Ctrl-L does not clear the screen, it just
goes to a new line and duplicates the previous one. Seems to broken to me.
A simple export TERM=xterm fixes everything, it works as it used to (and
less recognizes Home and End keys).
