Those are no applications. Those are ... i don't know the right name ... the
desktop? I don't expexct those shortcuts to be off by default.
By yapplications i mean amarok, yakuake ( which does it right imho today ) and
so on. When i started amarok the first time noone informed me of the now
accessible global shortcuts, noone asked me to active them.
How am i supposed to know they are there? Look them up? Find out when
accidently triggering one of them?
Just activating them without telling me is not the right thing to do.
