When it pops up saying "hey, an app registered a new global shortcut" it doesn't even say what shortcut it is, to even make the notification useful. In my mind, it seems like one of those cases similar to how a messagebox can be overused, stating or asking something that the user does not even care/need to know about, and i= t just adds confusion. --=20 KDE Developer, Shaun Reich --0016e6dab034375691047e2e5e5d Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
