So I used my own dialog in showConfigurationInterface and it worked fine. I also put the KKeySequenceWidget in this dialog and can successfully set the globalShortcut using the funtions in the Applet class. One problem: The dialog will flash and die the first time, work nicely the second time,

Now, whether or not one setHasConfiguationInterface( true), there is always a configuration context menu entry. This will, if nothing else is created for it, have the keyboard shortcut option. Whether or not it is needed or relevant to the applet. In my case, I had my own configuration dialog,

Just put in on, looks good after re-configuring my wallpaper and a couple of crashes. Most all compiled applets will need to be recompiled! (Some may no longer work). 1. No longer need to require plasma libs, no included in kde4 libs. So:Take that line out of CMakeLists.txt 2. Now DO use KDE4_
