To all: I'm having a local problem with cvs and haven't been able to get the 
kdenetwork commits to work yet.  Hopefully tomorrow...

Hi Thomas,

Interesting question.  The first answer is that, as it is now, users moving 
from KDE2.x to KDE3.0 _will_ loose most custom key binding -- more 
specifically, the bindings will revert to their defaults.  If we're going to 
try to preserve these settings across releases, it might not be a bad idea to 
perform the appropriate conversions in the kdeglobals resource file once on 
first startup of 3.0.  Is there any mechanism for this sort of thing already 
in place?

Ciao,
Ellis
