Bug in key event handling of kcompletionbox

[Ellis Whitehead]

Hi Arni,

AltGr isn't the only thing that doesn't work.  None of the global shortcuts work
either.  I asked a Troll about this, and he said that it's an X11 limitation
related to grabbing the keyboard.  I don't know why they have to grab the
keyboard for the drop-down box, though...

Ciao,
Ellis
