Well; while I am typing text in the kmenu, and I press the alt key, just for 
a second, and my work (the search entry I was formulating) is gone without 
any explanation why. This is something I consider a bad thing.
People make mistakes all the time and just accidently pressing the alt key 
is surely not far fetched at all.  Or am I really seeing things here?

Now what frustrates _me_ in this thread is an answer like "i don't see the 
need to use the ALT key" :-)
which just is totally not a constructive way to solve these issues.  If 
answers like that are anything to go by then I stick to my point that this 
will not work.

I appreciate how you try new things and dare to go where nobody went before 
(yes, I honestly do!); but I'm going to spent my time elsewhere if your 
solution is to ignore problems I personally think are very likely to occur.

So; if you please; go back to those 3 issues and try to figure out why these 
issues are issues in my mind, and work with them.
Perhaps a couple of user tests are in order since I might just be worrying 
about nothing, I have no problem proven to be wrong (where proven is the 
operative word), any more then the next geek.
