It looks like keyboard accelerators are broken in general in
konqueror.  They are still working in dolphin.  I would say that is a
bug.

That being said, you can set whatever shortcut you want for switching
to the cervisa part in the konqueror shortcut configuration.  If you
use it that much you may consider setting it to a real shortcut, that
would save a lot of keypresses.

I don't know about the icon.
