ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Spectacle uses actions defined in its desktop file for those shortcuts, however
since the QML rewrite it also calls KGlobalAccel::self()->setGlobalShortcut in
its SpectacleCore.cpp.
This has KGlobalAccel track the shortcut and set it "inactive" when the app
quits because the action normally couldn't be invoked with the app gone.
It didn't surface until now where Spectacle actually quits properly again after
taking a screenshot.
The reason for calling KGlobalAccel isn't clear and might be superfluous, since
the actions are handled by the desktop file. If the shortcut is shown in the
UI, then I think something else needs to be done than call KGlobalAccel.
