But people using Linux would perhaps want Windows key bindings too. So I do 
not understand why you do not want to add it to the normal key bindings, 
especially that as far as I see, it is already there. (I really doubt that a 
Windows user will want to select the KDE key bindings, except if he knows KDE 
beforehand.)

In KDE 3.5, kdebase/kcontrol/keys:
win3.kksrc
win4.kksrc

(I have not checked KDE4.)

Have a nice day!
