Can you tell me what exactly is going wrong for you? It works fine for me 
(both 2.3.2 and 2.2 branch and 3.0).

The basic problem was, that kglobalaccel had a really nasty bug, that showed 
up when we changed the way popups are handled in 2.3.2 a bit. popups grab the 
keyboard (that's the only way to ensure proper behaviour), but kglobalaccel 
ungrabbed them again. After that they wouldn't work correctly anymore.

One of the problems is, that KDE does a lot of X11 magic in some places, and 
things might break, when Qt changes their internal X11 event handling a 
little. That's one of the reasons we should try not to use too many direct 
X11 calls in KDE.

Cheers,
Lars
