Yes. But this requires coming up with a new shortcut for $HOME... which would
also make some people unhappy I guess (those used to Ctrl+Home == $HOME
and not using that shortcut in khtml). A difficult decision as always.

While we're talking about KStdAccel: would anyone object to me adding, hmm,
SafeDelete and RealDelete to it, to fix #76344?

* SafeDelete would mean "delete the selected objects, and this can be undone";
  default shortcut Del; would be used by Konq & KDesktop for moving files to the Trash.
* RealDelete (any better name?) would mean "delete the selected objects for good,
  can't be undone". Default shortcut Shift+Del. Would be used by Konq&KDesktop too.

I guess that at least KMail could use those too.
The point in having them in KStdAccel is to be able to change the shortcut
for deletion and have the new shortcut work in both konq and kdesktop, whereas
right now only konq's shortcut can be configured (see bug:76344).
