>Description:
kterm reversevideo and underline text are in mess.

xterm-xf86-v33 is the child of xterm-xf86-v32 
and XFree86 version 3.3 and 3.2 is X11R6.3, 
while kterm is based on xterm of the X11R6.1 (XFree86 
version 3.0?) according to README.kt 
in kterm-6.2.0 distribution.

I suppose that the old program kterm probably cannot enjoy
the improvement of current version of xterm.

kterm itself could display color text with xterm-r6 as is.
This was tested as follows.

    # printf "\e[7;32m reversevideo and green \e[m\n"

>How-To-Repeat:
       # man man
or     # sushi   -> Process and Daemons -> Show all daemons
or     # window  -> Ctrl-p -> ?

>Fix:
I think the better and safer fix might be to go back
to the previous setting.

If some programs need xterm-xf86-v33" for displaying color text, 
the below quick fix might be convenient.

  ~/.termcap
  kterm-color:\
      :es:hs:ds=\E[?H:fs=\E[?F:ts=\E[?E\E[?%i%dT:\
      :se=\E[m:ue=\E[m:tc=xterm-xf86-v33:

  # set term=kterm-color

This also works well.

But in the case of using some curses based programs on kterm,
it may need the different solutions to display color texts
for each programs.
