[Bug 940562] [NEW] Global hotkeys of amarok for rating conflict with Unity (Meta-1 to Meta-5)

[Daniel Hahler]

Public bug reported:

Amarok uses Meta-1 to Meta-5 as global hotkeys to assign 1-5 stars to
the currently playing track.

This conflicts with Unity, which uses these hotkeys to start/switch to
the first five entries from the application launcher.

I have now assigned custom hotkeys for Amarok: Ctrl-Alt-Meta-1 to Ctrl-
Alt-Meta-5.

Why should an application existing since 10 years change its hotkeys
just because Unity wants them? Sorry, I fail to see how this is an
Amarok bug.
