Ah...sorry about my post.  As penance, here's the reference for all who are
interested in this topic:
	http://www.kde.org/standard-keys.html
It explains the situation quite clearly.  The sort answer:
	1) Ctrl-x,c,v (like Mac/NextStep) for cut copy paste
	2) Home/end go to beginning/end of line
	3) No word-left/right defs.
	4) Use KStdAccel to get the keys and worry about choosing them
		yourself (when programming)
