They would use some keyboard combo for some special function in their application, in the knowledge that it wasn't one of the standard Gnome keyboard combos -- and then they'd get support calls and complaints from people who had set that same combo to do something else system-wide, just because Gnome had made that easy to do. > ... > Besides possible improvemnts on my design document, next on my > list is a mapping configuration dialog, where I currently see > some scary complexity.

If this was implemented, it would need to be possible for the Preferences windows of programs supporting this system to have a "Keyboard Shortcuts..." button, which opened *that application's* section of the system-wide Keyboard preferences window. Otherwise it would be unreasonably difficult to find out how to customize the application you were using right now.
