Because as was stated before MSIE uses it and Firefox uses it. It 
means there are some users (of MSIE and/or FF and/or Opera) who run 
those on Windows and would like to try KDE for a change. 

And those users are not interested if it is ctrl+shift+f, alt+f18, 
their interest is binary:
* if they can use KDE right away
* or they have to learn

In reverse -- you are trying to keep an obstacle for disabled users 
and users migrating from Windows. For what purpose? Nobody is 
taking "your" ctrl+shift+f. What harm will be done with secondary 
default shortcut?

I am not saying F11 it is the best, but KDE is not in position to 
dictate defaults. Brian and Jakob arguments are reasonable, so +1 
vote for F11 (i.e. following the defaults of dominant software).

Cheers,
