Ok. Please ignore my other mail. I read the thread here after my first mail and it seems everyone 
agrees. I will deactivate the notification by default. 

( For some reason i prefer to be informed if something registers a new global shortcut. )

Configuration Option? I will have a look to see if it is possible to show the new shortcuts nicely. 
But especially with kmix that would be a long list.
