Well that is what @prash wanted, not me. I understand where he is coming from
(colliding keyboard shortcuts), but it silently breaks my use-case. And I
believe that it is not an ideal solution in general.

Case in point, Amarok has some useful global shortcuts using KGlobalAccel [1],
e.g. for skipping tracks, that you would like to work even if the current
environment is not plasma. Currently, these shortcuts will stop working.

KWin is pretty unusable without kglobalaccel (even alt-tab does not work). Or
at least it seems to me that KWin needs it running (from quick look at the
sources), maybe there is other way?

I personaly have no problem setting the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE environment
variable or patching kglobalaccel, I just wanted to inform you abot these
issues. And maybe provide users with broken KWin shortcuts something to search
for :).
