           Summary: Certain hotkeys are not loaded from kglobalshortcutsrc
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: alaricx gmail com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          GCC 4.2.2 
OS:                Linux

When I set special keys (multimedia keys on my keyboard, XF86VolumeMute, etc., KDE refers to them as "Volume Mute", "Volume Down", "Volume Up", "Media Next") in systemsettings (Keyboard & Mouse config), they get written to kglobalshortcutsrc. When I log out and back in, and check systemsettings, the keys are no longer set.
Only the special keys (not normal modifier+character) that I set are set to nothing.

The config file contains the keys. I set the Immutable attribute on it so that it could not be modified, after i set my keys, and logged out and back in. While the keys were still listed in the file, they were not shown in systemsettings.

If i export the key profile and import it after login, the keys are set again.
They work after being set until I log out and back in;
my X keymap is modified by a script I have in Autostart (set to "Pre-KDE Startup") to include the keycodes for those keys.
