           Summary: Shortcut keys not working
           Product: kmenuedit
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pub at endlos.net


Version:           0.8 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-19-generic

I've defined several shortcut keys in the menu editor, e.g.,
Meta+W for starting Firefox or Meta+E for starting Emacs.  None of these work,
however.

If Konsole has focus, pressing Meta+E will not launch Emacs.  Instead, the
Konsole window will receive the letter 'e'.

Shortcuts defined via System Settings (e.g., Meta+Backspace for killing the
current window) work just fine, though.

Note that this bug is very similar to Bug #170455.  The proposed workaround
does not work, however, as khotkeyrc already shows the entires as Enabled=true:
