Have a look at the systemsettings for global shortcuts. You'll get a better idea.
About the application being wrong, I disagree. Most people would think that calling 'setDefaultShortcut(..)' would actually set the shortcut and not just write it to a config file. The way I see it, we either except this patch, or we change kglobalaccel (the daemon) to actually utilize the default shortcut. If you want, I can submit a patch for that. It's just about 4-5 lines.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I don't know. Given the documentation I understand it as "this is just the default shortcut", if one wants to have the global shortcut, the setShortcut method needs to be used. Whether it's a valid use case to only have the default shortcut, I'm not sure. But I assume that this was intended behavior by the people who implemented it.
Overall my feeling is that default is not intended to be used at all. But as said: we need input here from people more experienced with kglobalaccel</pre>

set. This makes sense, however kglobalaccel doesn't actually do anything
with the global shortcut, it just writes it to the configuration and
reads it back.
All the actual logic is implemented behind "active" or "normal" shortcuts.
In kdelibs4, most applications would call KAction::setGlobalShorcut which
had a default of setting BOTH the active and the default shortcut. Again,
I'm not sure what they point of this was if the default shortcut does not
actually do anything.
This fixes bugs such as the brightness key not working because
Powerdevil only sets the "default" shortcut.
