Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux If I open kmix (4.0.3 built from an svn snapshot), and save an alternate shortcut for muting the speaker, then restart kmix, the shortcut no longer appears in the shortcut settings page. Strace does not show anything regarding the shortcut being written.
I couldn't reproduce this with KDE4.0.x. But I see some weird Shortcut behaviour in trunk (upcoming KDE4.1). I am currently rebuilding everything from scratch, and will check whether a clean build also leads to these issues.
I also have major problems with Kmix forgetting any and all key assignments. On install, none of my laptop media keys work, and when I assign mute/vol up/vol dn in Kmix, it works until I reboot/logout. Maybe this is an openSUSE problem. openSUSE 11 (release) Kmix Version 3.0 Using KDE 4.00.84 (KDE 4.0.84 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080625) "release 1.1" Hope that helps.
I can confirm this. I am also using openSUSE 11 and KDE 4.00.84 (KDE 4.0.84 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080625) "release 1.1". The kglobalshortcuts is written when changing the Settings, but seems not to be ever read. When opening Shortcut-Settings again, the file is overwritten with the Standard-Values.
Latest Update to 4.00.85 fixed this Bug for me! Everthing works just fine now with Shortcuts!
Fixed as reported in comment 4 => close
