not much. 

in KDE3 KKeyChooser supports the ability to sync up with a random config file 
via the syncToConfig method. in trunk/ this is apparently missing (and it 
looks like the keyboard shorcuts control panel is currently broken in this 
respect) ... 

anyways .. there are .kksrc files provided with the control panel that are 
just regular kde config files which contain different sets of key 
configurations. they are presented in a combobox and when the user picks one 
that config file is loaded into the UI.

should be easy to replicate this as an option in the application keyboard 
shortcuts dialog ... i imagine it would simply look for .kksrc files in the 
apps' appdata directory and if they exist show a combobox listing them..
