           Summary: Global shortcuts stop working when enabling neo
                    keyboard layout
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: benedikt.haus at gmx.de


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

i have a problem with neo (keyboard layout). i set it using the kde gui for
setxkbmap, but i also tried xmodmap ( http://neo-layout.org/neo_de.xmodmap ).
my F-keys stopped working when i did it and the XF86AudioFoobar events, too.
xev still recognizes them(!!), but my global shortcuts with f-keys (tested with
yakuake/F12 and my keyboard’s media keys) don’t work anymore. F1 and F2 still
work. F5-F12 produce a tilde in yakuake but do nothing anywhere else.

this is NOT identical with bug #273836 - ctrl+t (l with qwertz layout) works
everywhere as expected.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
set neo layout using xmodmap or systemsettings (no matter if exclusively or
additionally to de)

Actual Results:  
Global shortcuts stop working

Expected Results:  
Global shortcuts shouldn’t stop working

$ setxkbmap -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Applied rules from evdev:
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     de
variant:    neo
options:    terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,shift:both_capslock_cancel
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwertz)
types:      complete
compat:    
complete+caps(caps_lock)+misc(assign_shift_left_action)+level5(level5_lock)
symbols:   
pc+de(neo)+inet(evdev)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)+shift(both_capslock_cancel)
geometry:   pc(pc105)
