Ok ok, slow down people.
Seens like Coling did nothing wrong. Testing another coleague machine today we
fall down in same situation, and looks like the defaults are wrong and
conflicting.

What's happening:
1 - Press the key for too much time -> dialog appears
2 - Since you never fall in accessibility configs before ( at least on
kde4 ) -> system create the one for you
3 - You press close in the dialog, not ok -> dialog close
KEYS ARE STUCK

So going:
1 - systemsettings -> accessibility
2 - !!!!! All entries are marked disabled

Solution:
1 - Mark options -> apply
2 - Unmark option -> apply
KEYS ARE BACK

Clearly there some inconsistency on defaults. I'm about to investigate what's
happening, but since other tests that we had today, i foresee that kde4 is
analysing both .kde4 and .kde config dirs, and the old .kde config could have
something to do with that.

Despite the issue, let's back for the discussion of the dialog.
Well, for the point of accessibility, the dialog is right, what is wrong is
how easy the confirmation can bypassed. This is far more importante
notification than a regular yes or no dialog and i think kde usability people
would love some input about this. If some of you ( or everyone ) are up to
this, we are glad to hear, in the kde accessibilitu mail list maybe.
