Non-working global shortcut

[Anne Wilson]

My laptop has been away for repair.  When it came back there was no
paperwork - I've no idea what was done to it, but there are a couple of
very strange things.  Of course, the first thing I did when it came back
was update, so it's possible that something there is involved.

1) Not important, but strange - the panel clock was 1 hour wrong.
2) My defined shortcut to launch kpat, my chosen lunchtime relaxation,
no longer works.  I deleted it and redefined it, but no joy.

The clock business is just a curiosity.  Short of messing with the bios
setting I can't think why that would be.  I'd really like to get the
shortcut working again.  What could interfere with that?

I discovered last night that Prtsc no longer launches KSnapshot.  All
very odd.

I never knew it was supposed to do that. I find that it works for me
(F16 fully updated). Handy :-)
