Let's see:
 * You can't toggle the dolphin information window [1]
 * You can't use the select rotate tool in kalzium [2]
 * You can't use the show line numbers in kturtle [3] nor in kate [5]
 * You can't toggle the side bar in gwenview [4]
 * You can't toggle preview in kfilewidget [6]

And some more, if you remove such a simple shortcut like F11 from application 
programmers they won't be happy.
