[Bug 188385] Re: custom shortcut for <win+q> works now only from time to time

[Harald Sitter]

If I assume correctly that you are talking about keyboard shortcuts in
the keyboard&mouse category, then yes, they seem to be pretty much
broken (even more in KDE 4).

This report should be forwarded to http://bugs.kde.org

** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- custom shortcut for <win+q> works now only from time to time
+ Application shortcuts broken

** Description changed:

- Hi,
  
  I've set a shortcut via kcontrol to launch konsole to <win+q> (had this
  since a very long time, and redid this again recently). Now my problem
  is, that the shortcut doesn't do anything in some sessions, and works as
  expected in other sessions. I hope I've file this bug against the right
  package.

- kdelibs4c2a                       4:3.5.8-4ubuntu7
+ Steps to reproduce in KDE 4:
+ * right click on the application launcher
+ * select Menu Editor
+ * choose some application (e.g. internet -> ktorrent)
+ * switch to advanced tab
+ * set shortcut and save
+ * test shortuct -> not working
+ * go to systemsettings -> keyboard&mouse -> keyboard shortcuts -> component: kde menu editor -> check that the shortcut is listed -> component: khotkeys -> no shortcut listed for K Menu entry.
  
- any other info you need?
- 
- Cheers and thanks,
-     Stefan.
+ This issue is probably related to the almost complete KHotKeys failure
+ in recent KDE versions.
