it's what people love to do.

yes, nobody's stepped up to make these work yet. the shortcut system changed 
in kde4 and this needed to be ported.

that's because the menu style switching was done in the most hacky way 
possible (no, not my doing) and the keyboard shortcut is associated with the 
widget itself (which gets removed and replaced when you switch menu styles). 
the reasons shortcuts are associated with widgets is fairly evident when you 
consider that there is no such things as "the menu" in plasma, and that we 
allow *any* widget to have a shortcut.

the GUI is missing for the user to set their own shortcuts, but the underlying 
support is there.

here's where i start to run out of patience with people:

we give them a more flexible system that opens up new possibilities filling in a 
feature hole in 4.0, default things to the original settings and the first 
thing they do? complain about the one problem with them (no gui to set them) 
combined with a weakness in a vendor supplied patch (the menu switching)

*sigh*
