Hi all,
unfortunately I have to inform you that KGlobalAccel has a severe
regression [1] in the latest framework release resulting in many
shortcuts no longer functioning.
As the current frameworks release is the one the next Plasma release is
going to depend on, we need to act quickly. In the current state I would
say a release of Plasma requiring this frameworks version is an absolute
no-no, this is release blocking. I'm saying this as the maintainer of
kglobalaccel and of the most affected application KWin.
Following recommendations from my side:
* distributions who have not yet shipped out the latest frameworks
release should hold back kglobalaccel and maybe kwindowsystem
* in KGlobalAccel we need to get a fix for it, I'm not able to provide
it, though.
* Otherwise I would suggest that the change in KGlobalAccel gets
reverted
Due to the fact that Plasma depends on this release we must act quickly
and do a bug fix release for frameworks even if this is uncommon and
against the practice.
Sorry for any inconveniences.
