Why not install an event filter in QApplication?

I think that KGlobalAccel wasn't designed for what you want to do. AFAIK it 
should only react to releases of modifier keys like shift, control, alt, 
meta, etc. It shouldn't react to releases of non-modifier keys -- did you 
ever see a global accelerator in a program which is a key-release rather than 
keypress accelerator? ;-) BTW many, if not all keyboards cannot handle 
multiple non-modifier keypresses at the same time (so if you press say Q, A 
and W together, you may only see say two of the three keypresses), IIRC.

Cheers, Kuba Ober
