Some configurability is ok, but IMO the most important system 
specific shortcuts should be hardcoded so that they work the same in 
every [KDE] environment. What about mapping "shutdown -t now" to ALT 
F4? If there's someone using your machine he'll probably get a bit 
upset when trying to close a window.
But of course, that's just my opinion.

If you really need to customize your system, you can still hack kwm's 
source.

Best regards,
Carsten Pfeiffer
