Keyboard > layout maybe? I guess not... but I'm using compose:rwin, FWIW. Actually... I only use US layout (with extra inet/media-keyboard keys), but now that you mention it, IIRC someone /did/ mention in a post a few weeks ago that the layout /did/ have something to do with it, yes. You might try reassigning one or two shortcuts to what /should/ be the defaults but using custom, and see if that "magically" fixes things. Otherwise, if it comes to it, try the bisect method. Targets will be $KDEHOME/share/config and $KDEHOME/share/apps. Outside kde, try renaming just one. Then split the remaining candidates more or less in half with each further test generation until you get it nailed down to the file, or the line in the file, if you like. At least here I highly customize and definitely don't want to have to redo it all, and that method has prevented me having to do so on more than one occasion. Another thing you could try would be stracing (or whatever fbsd uses in its place) kglobalaccel's file accesses... I've used that method to find the files something's looking for, as well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
