Bug Description
Using gutsy kubuntu, amd-64.
This is completely reproducible.
1. Set up multiple desktops (I have 10).
2. Go to System Settings | Keyboard & Mouse | Keyboard Shortcuts | Shortcut Sequences
3. Set up keyboard sequences of the form "Win + KP_digit" for the desktops
(for example "Win + KP_1" to switch to desktop 1)
4. Apply the changes
5. Hit "Win + KP_digit". Your desktop should change to desktop number KP_digit, but it doesn't.
If one does the above but just uses regular digits (not keypad digits), it works fine. So it looks like there's a problem with using keypad digits for switching desktops.
This problem has been confirmed by another user on the Kubuntu-user reflector.

This is a long-standing (pre KDE4) bug. It may still be somewhere open in the database, but I couldn't find it, so I'm re-filing it specifically against KDE4. (I looked hard; I apologize if it's there.)
In System Settings | Keyboard & Mouse | Keyboard Shortcuts, one can set (for example) "Switch to desktop 1" by pressing the left Win key and the keypad "1". This is reported as "Meta-1" on my system, which in itself is a little strange; I would expect that it record it as "Win-KP1". Anyway, after applying this new definition, I would expect that hitting the same keys (left Win + KP1) would cause a switch to desktop 1. It doesn't. Pressing the entered combination produces no result at all.
