Description Florian E.J. Fruth 2004-06-11 20:54:35 UTC 
Version:           0.5 (using KDE 3.2.3, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.6

i can set keyboard shortcuts and use them on my first screen (triple-head setup w/o xinerama). but they don't work on screen 2 or 3. shortcuts set in kcmkeys work fine on all heads.

Is this supposed to work now? I have this problem with 3.4.0_rc1.
Comment 4 Florian E.J. Fruth 2005-03-17 23:18:50 UTC 
works for me with kde-3.4.0 final (gentoo)
