I finally got a chance to reboot into intrepid. So I tried each of the
input tab choices. (apply, ok) Then for each choice I opened a new mc
session and tested thew shortcuts by selecting a filename then typing:

echo <ctrl>+<enter>

In each case the results were as if I had typed:

echo <enter>

Did that too. Same results... -{sniffle}-

Just like the results with konsole, an xterm in kubuntu doesn't let
mc's <ctrl>+<enter> & <shift>+<ctrl>+<enter> shortcuts work.

Since these same shortcuts do work in kubuntu if I run mc in one of
the 6 virtual consoles. But (in kubuntu) they don't work from an either
xterm or konsole, I have to think the problem isn't exactly with
"konsole" and/or "xterm", but rather some other aspect of how kubuntu
implements the gui must be interfering with these bindings... 

But I still don't have a clue how to fix it...
