 are you sure?
In my case, the keys them selves work fine.

These keys are defined as global shortcuts in kmix
In my case it's the global short cuts to kmix
that seam not to work in certain cases.
In short, that's an internal problem in kmix

redefine the global shortcuts to something else.
That something else will still not work.
