So I assume that these keyboard shortcuts work in other applications and you
don't have any other system-wide shortcuts that would conflict with these?

Yes. (In reply to comment #1)

This is really annoying, especially when one is editing some text box online, cant copy, cant paste, cant undo with kb shortcuts unless switching back to english layout. Kb shortcuts work fine for me in kde applications and non kde applications such as OpenOffice.org2. i let X handle kb layout switching if this helps, if i leave it kde , it doesnt work eather, in gnome, it doesnt work eather.
