Hi,

I just installed Kubuntu 8.10, so it is KDE 4.1.2.
I tried to run some application with a keyboard shortcut...
say "firefox" with a simple Alt-F. The following sequence fails.

I ran:
	System Settings
	-> Advanced
	-> Input Actions

In Preset Actions, I just tried to modify "Printscreen":

Step 1: in keyboard shortcut : I changed from "Print" to "F11".
OK: logging off and on now runs ksnapshot with F11.

Step 2: in Command/URL settings: I select /usr/bin/X11/konsole
	
It fails!! Why?

PS: I have other problems:
  - I fail to have theme "KDE classic" for the mouse.
  - how to display "2008-11-05 16:49" in Digital Clock Settings?
    In 8.04, it was "Plain" in Clock settings.
