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.
