Okay.  I'm not able to reproduce this bug -- I've tested setting shortcuts in 
Mumble under KDE, Xfce, and Window Manager.

If I remember correctly upstream is aware of situations in which setting a 
Shortcut can fail, which usually involves a USB device plugged in which has a 
portion that can emulate a keyboard such as an SDR [Software Defined Radio] 
dongle, a Yubikey, etc.  I think the issue is that as Mumble enumerates USB 
devices it attaches to the first keyboard device it finds, rather than to all 
of them.  The first thing to try is to disconnect any USB devices that aren't 
an actual keyboard or mouse and retest [and if you have more than one USB 
keyboard attached, try them both].

If it still doesn't work after that then I'd like to know what Window Manager 
or Desktop Environment you're using and how you installed your system so that 
I can create a VM to try to duplicate the problem.  [i.e. did you install your 
system via the 'netinst' CD, or did you use 'debootstrap' to install a bare 
minimum set of initial packages, etc.]

Thanks.
