           Summary: Non-global shortcuts in system tray menus
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kdeui
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alan-jenkins at tuffmail.co.uk


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Non-global keyboard shortcuts should not be displayed in menus attached to
system tray icons.  If they're not global, there's no way to trigger them. 
They're just a waste of horizontal screen space and mind-clutter.

This can bee seen in the Quit menu-items in the following system tray icons:
KNetworkManager 0.2.2
KMix 4.1.2
Amarok 1.4.1.9

Klipper 0.9.7 avoids this with an open-coded Quit action.

It's worst in Amarok, because it has default global shortcuts for some of the
menu items.  So you have a list with keyboard shortcuts, and you can use most
of them - but not the last one.
