I just needed to add "action->setGlobalShortcutAllowed(true);". But I found it very strange because:

Indepenendent on whether you call setGlobalShortcutAllowed(true) or not, ...
1) Global shortcuts show up for EVERY action in the KShortcutsDialog.
2) Global shortcuts actually work when you assign them.
3) Global shortcuts are saved.
The only thing that didn't work was restoring.

About 1) As far as I see this is a contradiction to the apidocs of KAction::setGlobalShortcutAllowed():
     "Indicate whether the programmer and/or user may define a global shortcut for this action. Defaults to false."

Also I propose the following addition in the APIDOCS of KAction::setGlobalShortcutAllowed(bool,GlobalShortcutLoading):
     "The global shortcut will be restored by this call, unless you set loading to NoAutoloading."
