           Summary: Hotkeys on HP nx9420 crashs KDE daemon
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: thx1011 yahoo com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

This HP Portable computer has on top several hotkeys that are used by HP software on Windows, namely an "i" key for activating the HP info center, a calculator hotkey, a presentation hotkey and a enable/disable sound with two +/- buttons. These last three work ok without any issue, as also works another hotkey for enabling/disabling wlan/bluetooth.

The issue is with other keys. If I press them, an crash handler window immediately appears complaining about KDE Daemon crashed. It seems nothing else is not affected, the computer still works, but all hotkeys are now not working including the volume ones. Not too serious, but annoying...
