I have the same problem with konsole on kde 2.2.2 . If I don't set manually 
TERM = xterm-color it doesn't show any color inside (ls, midc etc etc).

I have think to swap the two entry in the termcap like xterm --> xterm-bw e 
xterm-color --> xterm if I don't find a "cleaner" solution to the problem :-)
