I wrote them. None of the GNOME or KDE developers have contributed
that I recall to any of the terminal descriptions that are relevant.

as the stackoverflow link comments, xterm recognizes the escape
sequence and matches it against its palette. (Reading konsole's
code, it seems that it does the same thing - ymmv)

no... see the comment by Tangent 128. xterm patch #282 implements
the sequence as noted above.

Testing konsole 2.10.5 on Fedora19, I see that it does not.
It matches the "konsole" entry which I wrote.

That's probably the most recent copy of konsole that I can test.

Now that I'm reminded, I can retest and see if another change crept in
(when I see a newer version of konsole).

Both konsole and gnome-terminal have been pretty stagnant for several years.
Both have had as a goal, to "emulate xterm" for more than ten years,
but have not made progress on that.
