So, other than changing some things (ie "tinker with sound"), nothing has 
changed. OK. Obsiously, if nothing was changed under KDE's settings that 
would affect aterm (or, rather, non-kde apps), then there's obviously 
something wrong with aterm. 

Have you considered that whatever you were "tinker[ing] with sound" *did* 
ultimately cause aterm to behave the way you expect?

BTW, Why aterm? What's wrong with Konsole?
