Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I was walking down 6th avenue when...

Okay, so with a relatively new install and even with a new test user, shortcuts
aren't staying set.
It presents itself in different ways. For example:
1. In Desktop Effects, when assigning a shortcut in an effect's settings, and
clicking OK, immediately popping up its settings again will show the new
shortcut has not been assigned.  This is consistently reproducible.
2. In Custom Shortcuts, I am able to assign a shortcut (that wasn't accepting
the keystroke a week ago -- possibly a different bug, but maybe related.  It
accepts the keystroke assignment now).  However, I just experienced going back
to it after a day (possibly a reboot) and one of them being gone.  I'd put this
bug aside for now since I don't yet know a clear way to reproduce it.

Hmm, I am already running 5.20.90, and there there is no way to set a
shortcut in a Desktop effect setting - at least not in the ones I have
checked. Maybe this is simply not supported?

That was fixed with kxmlgui 5.78 that entered testing on 24/1.
