           Summary: evdev driver + khotkeys breaks up arrow - kglobalaccel
                    GlobalShortcutsRegistry::keyPressed: Got unknown key
                    "Up"
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: xeros at irc.pl


Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

When using evdev driver + and khotkeys enabled up arrow does not work on my
keyboards (I've tested three of them both PS2 and USB).
Disabling khotkeys makes the problem disappear.
Up arrow works in console and in X+GL games even when khotkeys are disabled.

The problem exists from at least KDE 4.4 (maybe even 4.3.x, too) and in KDE
4.5.3, too.
But before now I haven't known how to grab any useful logs for it.

When I press up arrow I get:
kglobalaccel(2497) KGlobalAccelImpl::x11Event: Got XKeyPress event
kglobalaccel(2497) GlobalShortcutsRegistry::keyPressed: Got unknown key "Up"

in ~/.xsession-errors.

And with 'xev' tool:
KeymapNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  1   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   4294967168 0   0 
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   

FocusOut event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer

If I try to bind up arrow as shortcut in System Settings it does properly
recognize "Up" as up arrow.

And one more thing - when KDE starts up arrow works fine for some time (a
couple of seconds, maybe minute or so).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable evdev driver for keyboard in xorg.conf
2. Enable khotkeys in KDE
3. Try to use up arrow in X11 apps (KDE, Gnome,...)

Actual Results:  
Keyboard up arrow stopped working

Expected Results:  
Up arrow should work

I use multiseat configuration with two KDE sessions with two X-servers (two
graphic cards) started by KDM. The problem occurs on both PS2 and USB keyboard.
