does using ':' cause any real world problems or is this primarily an academic 
correctness? 

i ask because with this change we'll be inflicting the real world annoyance on 
people of having to relearn how to use these shortcuts, having to determine 
which version of KDE (and whether it was a new install or an upgrade) when 
deciding whether to use ':' or ' '. not to mention how will we inform 
existing users of this change.

so unless there is a real world reason to avoid ':' i'd suggest we stick with 
it, academically inconvenient or not.
