Hi!

I suggest you use "xbindkeys" for things like this, 'cause TDE hotkey management is somewhat 'interesting'. For example, I cannot bind <windows>+<up|down> to move to the next desktop. With xbindkeys it works:

# ~/.xbindkeysrc
#WIN+UP
"dcop twin KWinInterface previousDesktop"
    m:0x40 + c:111
    Mod4 + Up 

#WIN+DOWN
"dcop twin KWinInterface nextDesktop"
    m:0x40 + c:116
    Mod4 + Down 

#MOUSE BUTTON8
"dcop twin KWinInterface nextDesktop"
    b:8
