Solving clashes is severe, indeed. What should it do? Simply override the 
previous one? I guess so.

The fact that settings are not saved is IMO a feature. Those on-the-fly 
keybindings are not meant to be stored, they are temporary. Users shouldn't 
be able to destroy their application settings forever with it. 

In special applications, such as kicker, we might do the saving. Kicker has 
to do something special  anyway: whenever the menu closes, it has to take 
those shortcuts and turn them into KGlobalAccels.
