Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase
Recently, an annoying bug was reported the KDE developers, but they say that it's not a KDE bug but a bug in the distribution. See this bug here:

I believe that this is actually a KDE bug, but still you might want to check it out. This is extremely annoying, because the standard kbd driver from X.org 7.1 doesn't work for me.

I can confirm this.
kdelibs assumes that keycode 111 is always PrintScrn and launches ksnapshot. When using evdev (xserver- xorg-input- evdev) for keybord input with a normal PC keyboard then keycode 111 is the "Up" key, and this gets very annoying.
There is a patch in the upstream bug tracker, and it is also applied to upstream SVN. It applies without problems and fixes the bug on Edgy as well.
I am attaching a version of the patch modified for kdelibs_ 3.5.5-0ubuntu3 using cdbs-edit-patch. I hope that this can be included in some later update for Edgy. Not being able to use the Up key should qualify as a severe regression.
