In terms of code, yes. In terms of end user functionality, they both basically do the same thing.

The shortcuts are a tricky one. By design kglobalaccel will only give one app a global shortcut at time, and naturally they both want XF86AudioLowerVolume and such.
I think it's just a race to register.

TBH, I expect distros to only pick one, which also kinda resolves the conflict.

Can you swing by #plasma maybe? Might be good to have a discussion.
