Sorry, I think I might be hitting the forum quite a bit whilst I try to get KDE4 up and running to my satisfaction. To that end, I have a questions:
Is it possible to have an application launch via a hotkey? Under Fluxbox I use xbindkeys to launch a calculator on the "calculator" button on my keyboard and the "sleep" button runs "xscreensaver-command --lock" - can I emulate this kind behaviour under kde4? I have some khotkeys shortcuts claiming to do some rather random things under global hotkey setup, but I can't find a way to alter the actions. Thanks, Matt.

You should be able to use "Input Actions" in System Settings to accomplish this.

Ah-ha! Thanks! I would have come back sooner, but it seems I forgot to subscribe to this thread... EDIT: Though apparently Qt doesn't support the "sleep" button. This isn't a biggie for me.
