Hi There is a problem with kdedglobalaccel i'm not sure how to fix. Using "kcmshell4 kcmkded" you see an overview of KDE Services. That status is determined using the following logic: ask org.kde.kded/kded method loadedModules for a list of loaded modules and compare that to the "X-KDE-Library=globalaccel" field from all kded services desktop files. The "KDED Global Shortcut Server" has "X-KDE-Library=globalaccel". But advertises itself on dbus as "kdedglobalaccel". No match - No status. I'm not sure which of those to change, because i don't know what is the less intrusive solution. If you tell me which one to change i will do it.
