XFree86 version: 4.3.0
kterm: version 6.2.0.wd0.2
>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.
