The problem is that we want to override all actions of the listview with
our own KActions. And these KActions are defined in KMMainWindow
because it handles the actions for all our widgets. I guess we will
have to overwrite KListView::keyPressEvent() in order to prevent the
listview from stealing our keys. The following crude patch which simply 
hides all key press events from our listview seems to fix our problems 
AFAICS.

Is this approach correct?
