For example the navigation shortcuts in QListViews. QListViews eat all 
letters (jump to entry which starts with this letter) and many arrow 
key shortcuts. Often this is not desired. One example is KMail where we 
handle the navigation in the folder pane and the header pane completely 
on our own because we want the navigation to work always the same 
regardless of which of the three (or four) main widgets in the KMail 
main window currently has focus.
