Sorry to be a dumb- bunny but I've again searched  System Settings 
------> Shortcuts and Gestures
and I can't find any of CTRL Fx or SHFT Fx mentioned anywhere in it.
  I have Kubuntu 10.10 on an amd64 and have not touched  System Settings 
as installed from the
downloaded .iso. I can't even find Kwin, I do have the 'Custom', 
'Standard' and 'Global' icons but in none
of them is there any mention of CTRL F(any) or SHFT F(any) or Kwin.

Like I say the listings in 
'http://www.krusader.org/handbook/key_bindings.html' at least reference them
under 'General CTRL keys' even if it doesn't list them.
  Is there a newer or different version of System settings, cos I don't 
think I can have the same one you
are describing.
