Users will rightfully consider this a BUG.
You don't explain how to solve the problem of the conflict with the German file menu. Without explaining how you would solve that alt+d can't be added as a shortcut.... Personally I have _never_ used alt+d to get to the location entry in any browser, looking at IE it isn't at all clear that that is what it does. Perhaps it works in IE as the German A_ddress text is translated to something else with a different accel ?
