           Summary: Changing shortcut creates an invalid shortcut when it is
                    the same as keyboard layouts group change shortcut
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: tog000 gmail com


Version:           4.0 SVN (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2) 
OS:                Linux

When changing a shortcut in kde programs (konsole, konqueror, dolphin, etc) and the desired shortcut includes the shorcut used for keyboard layout (group change) in kxkb, instead of showing the proper shortcut, it creates a different one, showing that 'other' keys have been pressed.

The bug is reproducible when:
-Kxkb is running and its configured to change layour groups with Ctrl+Alt
-You try to modify a shortcut to be in the form of "Ctrl+Alt+[LETTER]"

Instead of creating "Ctrl+Alt+[LETTER]" it creates "Meta+Ctrl+Alt+Shift+?, [LETTER]" and the shortcut doesnt work.

The workaround is to disable group switching in kxkb and then shortcuts work properly again.

One last thing: If one inputs the new shortcut pressing *first* Alt, then Ctrl and the key, it works.
