Put icons for launching xterm and konqueror on the upper or lower panel.
Simply drag and drop the menu entry from the Kickoff or classic menu to the panel.
Neither xterm nor konqueror is in the menu list as far as I can tell.

I tried drag n drop but it does not work for me.
I have used kde3 for quite a while with no problems, but I am not familiar with Kickoff or "classic menu" in kde4. I tried to find something about Kickoff but had no success. Is there a url where I can learn about how to use them?
I am not used to being such a putz.

Konqueror is definitely in the menu!
As for xterm, if it isn't listed in the menu, that's a bug in the xterm package, please file a bug in Bugzilla, all GUI programs are supposed to be registered in the menus! (But why don't you just use Konsole?)

Try right-click and "Add to panel".

Kickoff is the new-style menu, the classic menu is the old-style one. You can switch from one to the other with a right-click on the Fedora logo (or the KDE logo, depending on your icon theme) which opens the menu (there's a "switch to Kickoff/Classic menu style" entry in the context menu). The classic menu doesn't have many secrets (it's simple and straightforward), for Kickoff there might be a screencast somewhere, but it's designed to be intuitive.

I used konsole for quite a while, but I experienced wierd behavior that seemed to target konsole. I switched to xterm after konsole began starting up with non-stop repeating of 'i' on the command line even when I wasn't touching the keyboard. Another problem I experience even now with xterm is that the first 2 characters I type on a command line after a period of inactivity just don't echo. This has happened so many times that I reject the possiblity that I am not pressing the keys hard enough.

I experienced similar problems. I had a problem where if I copied and pasted something into console, it would automagically repeat the paste later. Kind of scary when operating as root !

How many of your machines does this occur on?

I have 4 systems, 2 of which are AMD64. I run Fedora on the oldest AMD64. This problem has occurred with every OS (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, F9) that I have run on that box. I use a kvm to interface to all 4 computers. I am the only user of these systems.

you have a problem specific to your environment - I've run konsole on many, many, machines, currently on six, and have never experienced what you describe
