After emerging kdeutils, KMilo seems to be activated by default. This has the undesirable consequence that some of the XF86Audio keys cannot be used for generic tasks, since they are hijacked by KMilo. I know that KMilo can be deactivated in the Control Panel, but this behavior gave me quite a headache before I found the solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a new system with a multimedia keyboard, install kdeutils Actual Results: When trying to adjust the volume, kmix gets started up. This behavior cannot be changed by assigning a new shortcut to the volume keys, either in khotkeys or in an individual application. Expected Results: KMilo should be deactivated by default, so the user can configure the XF86Audio keys to his/her own liking.
With KDE 3.4 you don't have to emerge kmilo anymore, which resolves this problem, too.
