OK, so this is a pretty bad bug in KDE. Someone filed a bug (#29105) 
complaining that the Windows key didn't open the KDE menu. But because they 
wanted the windows key to sometimes act as a modifier key (when pressed at 
the same time as another key:  e.g. Win+R for Run...) and sometimes not (for 
pressing Windows by itself to bring up the KDE menu). They couldn't get it to 
work within the normal X ways, so someone hard-coded something into kcmkeys. 
Fortunately (?) there's a bug (#77955) with the hard-coding. If the Num_Lock 
key/Mod2 modifier is on, the KDE menu won't come up.

So, to disable this, exploit the Num_Lock bug. As if keyboard handling for 
Linux/X11 wasn't hard enough.

Oh, I gotcha.  I wasn't thinking that far ahead, really.  I expected removing 
the metapackage would remove everything the metapackage installed, but I 
suppose had that been the case it would have reported a laundry list of 
affected packages.

Hey, KDE people wake up! ;) ;)  kde-core contains all of the great base
other KDE apps can and do use.  But from the applicataion/user point of
view there is the konqueror, kwrite(kate) and konsole  That's all!

kde-core has: no mailer (kmail), no cd player (kscd), no mixer
(kmix), no addressbook (kaddressbook), no pdfviewer (kghostview).

Well, that's my minimum list of apps.  If others send their
top 5 KDE apps we  get a _small_ but useful new kde-destop-environment
pkgs before sarge+1.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.

Aside from konqueror and konsole, the apps I use every day are kmail, 
knode, and kaddressbook.  There are many other wonderful kde apps which 
I would install as well, but those five top my list of indispensables.

The more I use konqueror, kmail and knode the more impressed I am by how 
well they complement each other.
