It's likely kded4, which handles the global shortcuts like alt-tab, is not running for him. Alt-f4, ctrl-alt-del etc then would not work either. The output of "qdbus org.kde.kded" should include "/KdedGlobalAccel". If the service does not exist or doesn't include that interface, something is wrong.

Since it generally works, I would try logging in with a clean user (or $KDEHOME) as there could be some user config left over from pre 4.0 development versions within $KDEHOME that is causing the problem.

Nah, it's the same thing here, qdbus org.kde.kded do indeed include /KdedGlobalAccel, and this is with a clean $KDEHOME. No shortcuts work.

looking at the service settings, it reports it as not loaded, so how do i get it to load the god damn thing? ;)

Alt-Tab does not work for me either (most of the times).

- after deletion of "old" RC2 install and fresh "1 Click install" from OpenSuse last night.
- kded4 is indeed not running at startup (please - anybody - is there a trick?)
- after kded4 is started manually from konsole command line, all services are working; however short-cut's are not
- system configuration->advanced->services correctly report that the global short-cut server is not running; but also the "start" button is grayed out
- I got it to work few times by changing some short-cuts, but not repeatable

--> any suggestion for
1) get kded4 running from start or finding the kded4 start-up log to debug the problem
2) "ungray" the "start" button in system config -> advanced -> services
3) activate global short-cut server

Otherwise KDE4 rocks! It is fast, nice, and I working with it and can do "almost" everything with it.

No as I mentioned in my post I do rm -rf .kde4 before restarting KDE and it still won't work.

Interestingly I have the same problem but I haven't reported yet because I am not sure it's some misconfiguration on my part rather than a bug. Where could I ask for assistance?
