On the contrary, I think this is *exactly* what we should do. This way there is a clear benefit to having a pure KDE environment (good for us)... and the whole reason shortcut schemes *exist* is to satisfy the interoperability concern. What we seem to have right now is a KDE scheme that is in fact not a KDE scheme at all but a mishmash of other schemes. -- Matthew Obscurity: +5
