Description John Doe 2016-04-12 19:03:06 UTC 
When using Xfce4, it is impossible to set any global shortcut.

This happens after a fresh install of amarok.

After opening the "configure shortcuts" window, if you try to set any global shortcut then nothing happens.
Basically, I click on the little arrow, then I have two choices: default or custom. The custom option is selected.
If I try to click on default option nothing happens (even if the default option has a defined key combination).
If I try to set a custom shortcut by clicking on the "None" button, then the button text changes to "Input...", after that I type in the key combination, but after I release the keys, the button text is reset to "None".

When I run amarok --debug, I see no particular message when trying to set the global shortcuts.

When starting amarok, however I see these messages: http://pastebin.com/raw/G86nQrtx



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open amarok's: Configure shortcuts
2. Try to set a global shortcut
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing...

Expected Results:  
Should set the global shortcut

You probably miss a KDE library. 
FWIW: shortcuts are not necessarily the same on different desktop interfaces, Amarok being a KDE based application, please make sure you have a full installation of all KDE libraries needed for the shortcuts.
FWIW2: no problems making shortcuts with KDE 4.x, so this is desktop dependent.
