shift tab when emacs running in tty (org-mode)

[Roland Winkler]

Symptoms:

I have problems to use the command org-shifttab (in org-mode bound
to S-tab) when emacs is running in a tty. However, I am not sure
whether this is an org-mode problem or a general emacs problem.

When emacs is running in an xterm, C-h k S-tab in org-mode gives me 

  M-[ z (translated from M-[ Z) is undefined

When emacs is running in konsole (the xterm replacement of kde) 
C-h k S-tab gives me nothing, i.e., the key sequence S-tab is
'swallowed' by konsole and not passed on to emacs.

I looked into org.el and found the following:

;; The following line is necessary for German keyboards under Suse GNU/Linux
(unless org-xemacs-p
  (define-key org-mode-map [S-iso-lefttab]  'org-shifttab))
(define-key org-mode-map [(shift tab)]    'org-shifttab)


Yes, I am running SuSE GNU/Linux and I am German. But no, I have an
American keyboard. I wonder what other people get on their computer
when they type S-tab in a tty. (I do not have any problems with
S-tab when emacs is running in its own X window.)
