That was a bug that should already be fixed. If not please send me you 
khotkeysrc file.

I find it useful. I need it to debug global shortcuts problems with users. The 
notification is off by default btw. Aand sorry i think you are worrying about 
a non issue. The message is issued whenever you press a global shortcut. I 
don't know you usage patterns but if that makes something slow or so on your 
system you must be a much faster typer, thinker whatever than me.

You could remove it but i don't see a reason why.
