I understand your opinions and sonetimes also use F11.

But to keep consistency we shouldn't redefine shortcuts per default even if 
they are the same.
It is about synchrony. If the user or the distribution changes the global 
shortcut rekonq is not affected. Thats not good in my opinion. If the user 
really wants F11 he/she may enable this via rekonqs shortcuts editor (once it 
is working :D), but then he/she is responsible for breaking the consistency. 
This is an important difference to me, because then the user knows what is 
going on in the system and why.

And for the backend thing: who cares about the backend when dealing with 
shortcuts? This is a GUI thing and the GUI should hide the backend from the 
user (besides, Kaffeine uses Phonon "backend"). But I don't want to step deeply 
into this discussion. I just wanted to say that other applications are also 
not considering the globals and we can do better.
