SUMMARY
When libkxmlgui gets loaded into a non-kde qt app it may mess up application's
shortcut framework. This happens because libkxmlgui installs[1] an event
filter, which tries to handle shortcuts on its own. Besides it's a quiet dirty
practice in general to mess with others global objects with upon lib bootstrap,
there are some legit reasons when a non-kde app may load a kde library. i.e.
that may happen because the app depends upon a library with optional kde
support or via Qt plugin system.
The later one is what exactly happened in freecad[2].
So could you please change the libkxmlgui behaviour so it won't install the
event filter on library load or at least do it just for kde apps?
