--- Comment #9 from i...@chylex.com ---
This bug makes KDE unusable for me, so I had to work around it... I ended up
binding the Activate Task Manager Entry shortcuts to F13-F21, installed
xbindkeys, and configured it like this for Czech layout:

```
"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F13"
Mod4 + Super_L + ecaron

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F14"
Mod4 + Super_L + scaron

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F15"
Mod4 + Super_L + ccaron

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F16"
Mod4 + Super_L + rcaron

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F17"
Mod4 + Super_L + zcaron

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F18"
Mod4 + Super_L + yacute

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F19"
Mod4 + Super_L + aacute

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F20"
Mod4 + Super_L + iacute

"sleep 0.2 && xdotool key --clearmodifiers --window 0 F21"
Mod4 + Super_L + eacute
```

Setting sleep to anything less causes the Application Launcher to appear
spuriously...

However the problem with this is that sometimes after pressing the xbindkeys
shortcuts, Application Launcher completely stops responding to Meta. So I ended
up finding xsuperkey which rebinds Meta to Alt+F1, and that seems to work.

This is an awful two-layered hack, a workaround that needs its own workaround
to stop completely destroying the usability of the desktop environment... But
since this bug is still not fixed, this is the only way I can use KDE.

An alternative to this awful hack might be switching to Gnome with the Dash to
Panel extension, where all Meta+digit shortcuts work flawlessly on the Czech
layout...
