[Bug 67894] Re: Keycode 111 starts ksnapshot (hardcoded?)

I can confirm this.

kdelibs assumes that keycode 111 is always PrintScrn and launches
ksnapshot. When using evdev (xserver-xorg-input-evdev) for keybord input
with a normal PC keyboard then keycode 111 is the "Up" key, and this
gets very annoying.

There is a patch in the upstream bug tracker, and it is also applied to
upstream SVN. It applies without problems and fixes the bug on Edgy as
well.

I am attaching a version of the patch modified for
kdelibs_3.5.5-0ubuntu3 using cdbs-edit-patch. I hope that this can be
included in some later update for Edgy. Not being able to use the Up key
should qualify as a severe regression.
