With time, I came to ignore the following problem.
But when I first switched to KDE some years ago it was a big and obvious bug:

Right-click a system tray icon, like KMail.
A popup menu appear: look at the left column, the keyboard shortcuts column.

They are out of context!

For eg. "Quit" it says "Ctrl+Q".
But you have to be in the application to be able to press that shortcut.
Seeing "Ctrl+Q" in the systray popupmenu would IMHO imply that this Ctrl+Q is 
a global shortcut.

On other platforms where there is no KAction concept, that menu is populated 
by hand, and people would not think to include the shortcuts in that menu.
But with KDE technologies, the shortcut come as a side effect.
There should be a way to not show the shortcut in the systray popup menu.
And this should be in KDE libs.

Is this OK from a usability point of view?
Do some people already complained of that in sudies or other?
