Right, so having different definitions makes sense, but KP_Separator seems to cause trouble. The definition of the <KPDL> key has been discussed at: http://www.spinics.net/lists/xf-xpert/msg07783.html http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101225 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50282 But AFAICT problems with KP_Separator have not been reported.
