I can't track down the KDE 1 style guide :(
But you're right they don't do that. But then KDE 1 at least has many
broken things in its user interface.
The only bad thing I am tempted to conform to is the placement of buttons
like :
| OK | Apply | Cancenl
rather than :
| OK | | Apply | | Cancel |
It's fairly obvious the second should be better as the targets are
larger.
Having thought about it, you might be right about the <return> / <escape>
thing. Tab order would probably do for the rarer Apply, Restore[1], etc.

[1] Here KDE tends to favour "Default". This is clearly a bad wording for
e.g. the paragraph dialog. Actually I couldn't find a "Default" button
that actually *did* anything on a quick search
