I couldn't find it either. What bothers me is that in a Konsole, there's
a Settings -> Configure Konsole -> Session -> $TERM
setting that looks like it should override anything X does. I would
expect that Konsole would be started, change the TERM environment
and start the indicated shell. This isn't happening.

I guess it's time to look in a bugs database for KDE.

You'll find if you log into a text console (ALT F1, F2 etc), $TERM should be
linux. However konsole and others in 'X' are set to xterm so something is
being set as X loads. I couldn't find xterm in any of the /etc/env.d files,
so its not being picked up there anyhow.
