I've fixed the problem with kdegames/ksirtet that was reported on kde-devel, 
and the crash in kdegraphics/kuickshow that Carsten reported.  It required 
some rather unpleasant hacks in order to maintain binary compatibility, and 
in the code I committed there are an excessive number of kdDebug(125) calls 
-- I'll remove these during the week.

In case knowing about "bigger changes" is of interest: I've partially 
written new, better designed KKey* classes which should be more in line with 
the functionality that's supposed be in QKeySequence in the future. 
(KKeySequence in its current form is _not_ pretty.)  These new classes will 
also simplify the KAccel* code.  I won't commit them until after the beta 
freeze though.

The top items on my todo list are:
	1) update entire list view in KKeyChooser on change
	2) dialog box for setting a shortcut
	3) Write code for [Remove Scheme] button
	4) Convert old .kksrc files to new format
	5) design dialog for setting modifier names & modifier info

#2 will allow a user to enter in multiple shortcuts for a single action 
(e.g., Ctrl+V and Shift+Insert) and extended shortcuts (e.g. Meta+I,K).  The 
code for activating an extended shortcut's slot isn't written yet, though.

#5 will allow the user to choose different names for the modifier keys, for 
example in order to reflect the Mac modifiers or name the Win key in a 
familiar way (Win/Alt/Meta/Super/Hyper).

Take care,
Ellis
