99%[1] of the users won't EVER touch the key configuration dialog.
This means 99% will use the default.
This means the default must already be sane and working for the majority.
If this default sucks or if the default is missing, users will perceive this 
as a fault of KDE. They will not go around and modify the shortcuts.

All of this does not mean it should not be configurable. This only means, 
that making it configurable is not a solution by itself. Understood?

[1] Bogus number. More available on demand.
