The things that annoy me currently

1. I don't care for applications registering global shortcuts without telling me and without giving me the oppurtunity to disable them. I start a application i don't know, accidently press some button combination and something happens. Don't like it. No global shortcuts without my consent. Basta. A application is allowed to advertise actions it thinks are appropriate for global shortcuts, and give default values, but after starting the application the first time they arent active. It's opt-in.

4. I don't like having all shortcuts together in kglobalshortcutsrc. Call it personal preference. I think the belong into the kxmlgui.rc file of the application.

2. During that registration the component tells kdedglobalaccel the location of its kxmlgui*.rc file ( i think that's possible ). kdedglobalaccel would need that if the user wants to configure global shortcuts and the application is not running. With that information the keys kcm would be able to inform you of conflicting shortcuts during configuration. But only conflicting shortcuts for active components. When the application is active the keys kcm would inform the application via dbus of changes. No problem there. I thinks it's a one component - one kxmlguiclient*.rc file association. Right?

3. Sometimes later the user activates the global shortcuts for this component using the global shortcuts configuration dialog (Some global checkbox).
