I have worked around this by using 
xmodmap -e 'keycode 82=minus' 
xmodmap -e 'keycode 86=plus' 
inside my gloal XSession file.
My question/problem is that I use the keypad +/- keys in KMail and they
worked fine, in KNode I wanted similar behaviour but the +/- keys on 
keypad would not work nor could I assign to them without this. BTW the
regular +/- keys would work tho.
