There are now two default key schemes: the traditional 3-modifier setup 
(alt/ctrl/shift) and a new additional 4-modifier setup (meta/alt/ctrl/shift). 
You can select between the two in KControl | Look and Feel | Key Bindings.
A new KDE installation will default to the 4-modifier setup if the keyboard 
has a Meta key, and the traditional 3-modifier setup otherwise.

Also, under KControl | Look and Feel | Window Behavior | Actions is now the 
option of using the Meta key instead of the Alt key for moving/resizing/etc 
the window with the mouse.  (Now GIMP users don't just have to turn the 
options to 'Nothing'!)  Unfortunately, everyone with a Meta key who wants to 
keep the Alt-key attached to the window move/resize/etc actions will have to 
go into KControl and explicitly set it back to Alt.

There are a couple minor issues with the Key Bindings dialog that i'm aware 
of: 1) the 4-modifier setup shouldn't be selectable if X reports no Meta key; 
2) the option of selecting a 4-modifier setup under Application Shortcuts is 
currently superfluous, 3) buttons are poorly aligned at the bottom and the 
'Default Key' label needs to be changed, and 4) the 'Prefer 4-Modifier 
Defaults' button isn't saving it's state.  I'll get to those tomorrow.

Regards,
Ellis
