How do I fix Global Shortcuts when they stop working in KDE?

Question

I recently had Global Shortcuts stop working in KDE 4.

I asked around on forums and chat rooms for solutions. Some people mentioned kded.

I tried reinstalling.

After about a week I upgraded all my packages were back to normal.

However, I still don't know what runs and causes Global Shortcuts to work and would like this to be clarified if anyone knows.

Thanks.

Various reasons... from KDE Bubs to Distro packaging bugs, to idk. What version of KDE 4 are you using? — xenoterracide, Oct 13 '10 at 17:31

When I had some problems with shortcuts, I've found manual fixing of files :

.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc (in my case, section: [khotkeys] )
.kde4/share/config/khotkeysrc

my way.

I hope, those paths might help you.
