/**
 * The KGlobalAccel class handles global keyboard accelerators, allowing a
 * user to configure key bindings through application configuration files or
 * through the KKeyChooser GUI.
 *
 * A KGlobalAccel contains a list of accelerator items. Each accelerator item
 * consists of an action name and a keyboard code combined with modifiers
 * (SHIFT, CTRL and ALT.)
 *
 * For example, "CTRL+SHIFT+M" could be a shortcut for popping-up a menu of
 * monitor setting choices anywhere on the desktop. The key codes are listed
 * in ckey.h. "Monitor settings" could be the action name for this
 * accelerator. The action name indentifies the key binding in configuration
 * files and the KKeyChooser GUI.
 *
 * When pressed,an accelerator key calls the slot to which it has been
 * connected. Accelerator items can be connected so that a key will activate
 * two different slots.
 *
 * KApplication::x11EventFilter must be re-implemented to call
 * KAccel::x11EventFilter so that a KAccel object can handle all key events.
 *
 * Key binding configuration during run time can be prevented by specifying
 * that an accelerator item is not configurable when it is inserted.
 *
 * It is possible for a user to choose to have no key associated with an action.
 *
 *
 * The translated first argument for insertItem is only used in the
 * configuration dialog.
 *
 * MyApp::x11EventFilter( XEvent *ev ) {
 * if ( myObject->ga->x11EventFilter( ev ) )
 *		return true;
 * }
 *
 * ...
 *
 * ga = new KGlobalAccel();
 * ga->insertItem( i18n("Monitor settings"), "Monitor settings", "CTRL+SHIFT+M" );
 * ga->connectItem( "Monitor settings", myObject, SLOT( popupMenu() ) );
 *
