Actually adjusting the standard shortcuts in Qt to the KDE settings of
the users DE is the correct thing and really wanted. I wouldn't want to
have to learn two sets of shortcuts for basic tasks such as
Copy/Cut/Paste etc. Its good if Qt can override shortcuts for QTextEdit,
QLineEdit and Co automatically to the platform it runs on.
