Bug Description
Amarok uses Meta-1 to Meta-5 as global hotkeys to assign 1-5 stars to the currently playing track.
This conflicts with Unity, which uses these hotkeys to start/switch to the first five entries from the application launcher.
I have now assigned custom hotkeys for Amarok: Ctrl-Alt-Meta-1 to Ctrl-Alt-Meta-5.

Why should an application existing since 10 years change its hotkeys just because Unity wants them? Sorry, I fail to see how this is an Amarok bug.
