You've checked that the "up" key isn't assigned to anything in khotkeys, right? Maybe changing its config file (which I can find but am lazy right now) between the working and non-working configs, to see if that's what's triggering it? The combination of this and the evdev bit, are "interesting". I'm wondering if khotkeys4 is using ksyms, etc, differently or more directly than khotkeys3 did? It would explain some other issues khotkeys4 has, too, like the lack of global multikey support that was there in khotkeys3. Here, I'm looking at switching to a third party hotkeys app, as global multikey hotkeys are essential to the way I navigate my desktop on kde3 and one of the blockers I have to overcome before kde4 will be working for me. (See the existing threads on the subject, check the archives if necessary. FWIW, I use gmane.org's list2news services for the lists/ groups, thus both having list archives available and avoiding the extra mail traffic. But they have a web version available as well, and then there's the normal kde web version archive.) If it's giving you this sort of issue, but you still need the hotkeys functionality, perhaps a third party replacement will be your solution as well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
