Error when adding/removing key in KDE version

[Bruno Nova]

Discovered this bug in 14.04.

In the KDE version of software-properties, when I add or remove a key, an error about the key being invalid is displayed.
However, it seems that the key is actually added/removed (checked with apt-key).

The respective methods in softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py call the KeysModified() method.
Apparently, this method doesn't exist in the KDE version, causing an exception which makes the add/remove methods return False.
This is the cause of this bug.

That took a while.

If I'm not mistaken, I found this bug while trying to fix another bug in the GTK version and decided to test the KDE version in VirtualBox. I then checked the code to see where the bug probably was.
That's why I didn't use ubuntu-bug.

I'm using Unity, not KDE, and I have no idea if this bug still exists. And, after more that 1 year, I'm still the only one marked as affected.
Maybe it would be better to leave this bug "Incomplete" until it automatically turns "Invalid", unless someone else using KDE tests this bug.
