And this new KAccel x11 event filter breaks more: It allows to
activate shortcuts that are disabled.

This event filter make me wonder: What is it that is so broken in Qt
that KDE has to re-invent the whole wheel and handle X11 key events?
Is it something that can possibly be fixed in Qt? Did anyone report
the problem, yet?
