I've done a  KXMLGUIFactory::configureShortcuts()  slot.  so it's already 
possible to do

KStdAction::keyBindings(factory(), SLOT(configureShortcuts()), 
actionCollection());

KXMLGUIFactory::configureShortcuts()  does not let to configure only the set 
of actions from the action collection, but every action of kparts or plugins.

But AFAIK, only few applicaiton use that function.
Maybe i should add a @see also  in the KKeyDialog::configure API doc

Yes, i think the same

Is it too late for KDE 3.3 ?
