well, not directly. from the app developer's side it is known to be not
available, which is the main concern, imo. as the alt-ctrl keys would be
still bound, the win ones are really just alternatives. it would be up
to the user to decide what is his preferred namespace for personal
stuff.

yeah, that's my private mapping. i think i got it from windows, but in
any case it just makes sense (to me ;).
for completeness, my remaining bindings:
alt-esc - close window
alt-ctrl-esc - kill window (from kde)
shift-ctrl-esc - ksysguard (from winxp)
alt-ctrl-enter - execute app
alt-f* - switch to desktop *
shift-ctrl-f* - move window to desktop *
alt-ctrl-[shift-]<letter> - application invocation/focusing (via khotkeys)

i'm not happy with the alt-f* bindings, this is definitely something for
win-f*. unfortunately, i haven't stumbled over a 4-modifier keyboard i
liked, yet. :}
