This is no good, because it's not intuitive (no other KDE widget/app makes use 
of this AFAIK, except if sticky keys are enabled). How does Mozilla handle 
it?

This is coooooooooool! Wouldn't it even be possible to immediately show the 
accesskey as soon as Ctrl is pressed (like the keyboard accellerators for the 
menu bar are shown as long as Alt is pressed), or is it too intrusive?
